Corgi Socks

Corgi is a heritage British knitwear brand rooted in craftsmanship, family tradition and a strong sense of place. Founded in 1892 in Carmarthenshire, Wales, the company began by producing durable woollen socks for local coal miners. Over more than 130 years, it has evolved into a luxury maker of socks, knitwear and accessories while remaining true to its original values of quality and authenticity. At the heart of the brand is its identity as a multi-generational family business. Now led by the fifth generation of the Jones family, Corgi continues to design and manufacture its products in the same Welsh community where it began. This continuity reflects the brand’s commitment to preserving traditional skills while also embracing contemporary design influences. Corgi emphasises craftsmanship and attention to detail, with products created using natural yarns such as wool, cotton and cashmere. Much of the production takes place in-house, combining time-honoured techniques with modern innovations to achieve high standards of comfort, durability and style. The brand takes pride in “making what it sells,” reinforcing its focus on authenticity and control over quality. Inspired by the Welsh landscape and its cultural heritage, Corgi positions itself as passionately local yet globally respected. Its long history, skilled workforce and dedication to luxury knitwear have helped shape its reputation as a maker of timeless garments. Ultimately, the brand is about creating products with lasting value — pieces that carry forward tradition while becoming part of customers’ personal stories.
