So you can buy many different types of socks made all over the world but very few could better the quality and heritage of Pantherella. Tracing their history back to 1937, the founder bucked the trend for plain, bulky and bland socks in favour of a thinner, more design led sock. The idea that men might wear thinner, more comfortable socks was, at that time, doubted by many in 1937 but has become the norm with Pantherella continuing to lead the sock world with their innovative approach to design and comfort.
Buoyed by their success in convincing men to move to lighter weight socks, Patherella ceased producing women's socks (their main market up until that point) in 1952. It was not until 2005 that they relaunched a women's range, by then celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Pantherella brand and the established leader in sock manufacture.
Pantherella are famous for their hand linked seam meaning that there is no ridge under the toe. This is impossible to recreate by machine and sets Pantherella socks apart from mass produced alternatives. They are hard wearing, long lasting and comfortable with a loyal following. Pantherealla socks continue to be made in Leicestershire under ownership of the Hall sock making family. Pantherella make socks for a wide range of own brand high end suppliers as well as continuing to build their own brand name.
