Our modern take on classic unisex ribbed socks is made in Italy from Shappe silk. Hand-dyed with natural ingredients by an artisanal studio in the Italian Alps, they’re mid-length with a smoothness and a natural sheen that’s ideal for smart or casual outfits.

This item has been carefully hand-dyed using natural ingredients, which may result in some intended imperfections. At the same time, these variations give the color its unique character and allow it to blend beautifully with different skin tones.

Silk is a natural protein fibre produced by silkworms. A single silkworm cocoon can contain up to 1 mile (1.6 km) of silk fibre.
Silkworms spin cocoons, which are harvested, and the silk fibres are reeled and spun.
We source the highest-grade silk threads from China which are treated and spun into yarn in Italy following OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 directives, meaning no harmful chemicals are used in its production.
At DUALLE, we source a special type of silk called Schappe silk 120/2, which is derived from shorter fibres remaining after the initial silk extraction.
Using this type of silk is an environmentally friendly way to make use of silk residuals, enhancing the sustainability of silk production while offering the ideal texture for our socks.
Our Schappe silk has a metric count of 120 and a two-ply yarn, resulting in a very fine and unique fabric.
Our silk feels incredibly smooth and luxurious against the skin, offering breathability that keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter.
Silk has a natural sheen that adds elegance to our socks.
At DUALLE, we blend some polyamide and lycra into our silk socks to increase the silk’s strength and longevity. This allows us to add stretch and flexibility, making the fabric more comfortable to wear.

Method: Cold dyeing
Dyed in: Aosta Valley, Italy

We use a new, innovative cold dyeing method to dye the majority of our textiles in a small atelier in the Italian Alps.
Our innovative method involves very low water consumption, using up to five times less water than warm dyeing.
The process uses minimal energy since it avoids prolonged heating; yarn and garments are aired at room temperature.
The dye bath can be reused multiple times.
Only natural ingredients, such as different trees, plants, roots, fruits are used in our dyes.
Our drying process can take up to three weeks, depending on weather conditions, making it longer than warm dyeing methods.
The absorption of colour in our natural fibres is much stronger due to the extended drying time in the open.
Our yarns and textiles achieve the highest scores in standardised dyeing tests (ISO Standards) for sun exposure, friction, and wash fastness.
The ingredients used in the dyes have antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-moth, and anti-UV properties.
Over time, our natural dyes can feel beneficial on the skin, especially for sensitive skin, and promote comfort through odour control.
Deep black and white are the most challenging colors to achieve with natural dyes, with no current textile industry solutions. Thus, we use an eco dye process for these colors, which is more responsible than traditional methods in terms of resource use and environmental impact.
Large-scale production for natural dyes and their long processing times are still a hurdle in the textile industry and more research is required to promote wider adoption and more cost-efficient solutions.
