Launched in 2019, Solespun is the brainchild of fashion photographer Nick Kelly and a creative collaboration with London based stylists, photographers and creatives. Solespun offers access to some of the finest sock makers available, a growing list of designers and brands including Paul Smith, Pantherella, Jonhnstons of Elgin, Sunspel, as well as Solespun’s own Orange (Sea Island Cotton) and Black Label (Cashmere) socks. They offer the very best in design and manufacture, ranging from casual to dress, always beautifully conceived and executed.
We believe that socks are personal purchases that allow us to express our values, attitudes, individuality and sense of style in a quiet understated manner. A way to offer others a discreet glimpse, an insight, into one’s true self hiding behind the everyday uniform.
Combining the right elements, material, performance and great design, Solespun brings together a collection of socks and underwear. In their bespoke, luxurious packaging, Solespun socks are sourced from the world’s finest hosiery houses and specialist retailers, carefully curated by the team and beautifully presented for personal enjoyment or for gifting.
Solespun was born of a collective with a shared passion and fascination for personality and detail. It saw founder and director, Nick Kelly, embark on a tour to meet brands and textile manufactures, scientists and designers, as well as talking with fashion houses, models, stylists and photographers.
Every single person involved in the creative process shares the same passion and has participated to the development of the brand and the selection of the items.
Solespun works hard to earn the trust of its customers and the brands that it represents, and stay true to its core values of expression, design, function, form, integrity and identity. From the items it sells and the luxury bespoke packaging to customer service, Solespun strives to show its commitments through actions rather than simple words.
The journey starts with the brands that have been selected to be part of the collection and the craftspeople chosen to knit Solespun’s own branded socks. All are established, recognised industry leaders in their respective area that have been carefully researched and considered.
Designed by Solespun packaging is manufactured by boutique London based artisans, it is bespoke, luxurious, tactile, functional and environmentally friendly – all made of recyclable paper and cards. No plastic!
