As we transition to our new location, we've noticed a significant uptick in tourist interest in purchasing socks! Whether for personal use or as thoughtful gifts for loved ones back home, it's clear there’s a demand.
In response, AOK Clothing acted swiftly, and we are thrilled to have partnered with a local supplier, The NZ Sock Company, known for their beautiful socks.
Boasting 116 years of sock-making heritage in Ashburton, their story encompasses nearly 40 years through three generations of the Sparrow family. Their unwavering passion and dedication have made them leaders in sock technology innovation.
The NZ Sock Company’s journey began in 1901 under the name Phaups Hosiery, founded by John Phaup. In 1980, Cip Sparrow and his son Euan took the helm, transforming it into The New Zealand Sock Company. Their enduring legacy continues to flourish, delivering high-quality and innovative socks crafted with care and expertise.
Expanded Sock Collection at AOK Clothing
Our lovely possum Merino socks continue to be a key feature of our collection. To enhance our range, we now also offer summer socks and those designed with added support, all sourced from our local manufacturer, NZ Sock Co. This expansion provides you with even more options to choose from!
Merino Comfort Socks
A fine knit Merino Wool dress sock with a new improved cuff for comfortable wear. We've swapped out the traditional 1 x 1 elasticated rib cuff and replaced it with a high stretch, double layer cuff for soft, non-restrictive comfort. Perfect for suffers of swollen legs.
Merino Anklet
A fine knit merino sock, ideal for dress or casual wear. Made for those days that you just don't want a full length sock, these are a perfect companion for ankle boots this winter. Nylon reinforced in the heel and toe areas for superior durability, and knitted with a slim profile low compression cuff to ensure comfort during wear.
Womens Nuyarn Sneaker Sock
A sweet little summer fave has had a facelift! We loved our Merino version and our Coolmax Cotton version so much, that we just couldn't resist doing another one in Nuyarn®.
Offering a luxurious feel with loop pile cushioning in the heel and toe, these little socks take full advantage of Nuyarn® benefits, while remaining a very small profile on the foot. 5 x faster drying, 85% more elasticity and 8.8 x more durable - Nuyarn®'s blister free technology is just what your feet have been missing this summer.
Top quality socks make for a great Christmas present.
While giving socks for Christmas may seem cliché, we believe that recipients of high-quality socks truly appreciate them.
Many people often overlook the luxury of comfortable, well-made socks, considering them an everyday necessity rather than a special treat. Receiving a pair of quality socks can be both practical and delightful, filling a need that recipients might not think to fulfill for themselves.
At AOK Clothing, we take pride in offering socks that not only provide comfort but also showcase exquisite craftsmanship. They make thoughtful gifts, perfect for family and friends who deserve a little indulgence.
This holiday season, consider the joy that quality socks can bring, transforming a seemingly simple gift into something memorable and cherished. A perfect blend of utility and comfort, our socks are sure to warm the hearts and feet of those you care about. Give the gift of quality this Christmas and make your loved ones smile.
