Here are simple basic socks for every day, in which the well thought-out alternation of knitting techniques ensures a good fit: the toes, sole and heel are plain knitted, while the shaft and the back of the foot are rib-knitted. The combination of materials also ensures good comfort: breathable and skin-friendly cotton from controlled organic cultivation and a little elastane for shape retention. One visual detail only becomes apparent at second glance: The otherwise plain-colored socks are finely striped on the inner edge of the shaft, which can also be folded over to create a visual accent.

Mela is a Hindi word that means "acting together", and this idea is at the heart of everything the Kassel-based label Melawear does. Producing clothing, bags and sneakers in India, Melawear personally selects its partners locally and regularly undergoes inspections by fair trade and GOTS certification bodies. Melawear products therefore meet the highest standards - from the cultivation of the organic cotton to the dyeing and fabric production through to the finishing. In addition, they are certified with the "Grüner Knopf" seal, a state textile seal that recognizes companies that already meet particularly demanding social and environmental standards and want to improve on this high level. Last but not least, Melawear wants its products to be a timeless alternative to the fast pace of the fashion industry.
