When you’re creating a more environmentally aware lifestyle for yourself, why not start from the ground up… with your socks! These light, soft and smooth UphillSport Taata Upcycled Cotton Striped Socks are made using recycled, reused waste fibres for a quality feel, but one that helps conserve resources. You’ll never know the difference when you see these good looking socks!

Better known for their hi-tech sports socks, Finland’s UphillSport brand are using an innovative Recover textile recycle system as a part of a multi-step sustainability programme, retasking materials and including a clever colour-match in process to prevent the use of extra water, and chemicals. Despite being made from super-soft Tencel (produced from sustainable eucalyptus tree pulp) and previously-used fibres, the upcycled cotton gives these socks natural softness, and upcycled polyamide adds essential extra durability.
