Respectable companies around the world know that gifts are an essential part of unfolding promotional strategy. They are a great way to boost brand awareness and leave a long-lasting impression. Also, they give a fantastic opportunity to strengthen relationships with employees, clients and business partners. Socks are some of the most cherished promotional products. And Kingly’s socks bring added value. Not only by taking care of the environment but also by taking care of the employees who stand behind the production of every order. For our most popular types of socks – Crew Socks and Sports Socks – we use Organic cotton, accredited to the Global Organic Standard, Upcycled Cotton and Euro Cotton.
1. Award-winning GOTS Socks
Kingly is the single GOTS-certified producer in the UK and 1 of only 52 GOTS-certified sock knitters worldwide. Our GOTS organic cotton socks have been awarded the Promotional Gift Award 2022. They are composed of 80% organic GOTS cotton, 17% eco-friendly regenerated polyamide, and 3% elastane. Spun with care and comfort, it is kind to your skin and so much gentler on the planet. No chemical pesticides, genetically modified seeds, or artificial fertilisers have been used in the cultivation of cotton. Discover this product’s sustainability report by BCome via this link.
2. Gold Standard Upcycled Socks
Kingly use upcycled yarn that repurposes textile waste and gives it a new life. We empower our clients to visualise the amount of preserved water and energy, as well as the reduction of landfill space and carbon emissions. This is possible because of our sustainability calculator. Last year we helped our clients save an astonishing 34 537 442 litres of water and 128 908 kw/h of energy. The carbon emissions have been minimised with 52 886 kg and 5833 m² have been prevented from turning into landfill. These socks have been awarded the Promotional Gift Award 2020. Learn more about last year’s preserved resources here and about BCome’s sustainability report here.
As a responsible company, we always choose to work with ethical producers within the European Union. As all socks are full-custom knitted you can request that the height be modified. And we can guarantee that your personalised socks will match your brand identity and message which will make your promotional products highly effective.

T-shirts and towels are some of the most popular promotional merchandise items and their value lasts for years. And compact, or compressed T-shirts and towels add instant value. It’s amazing to see them expand and take on their natural unpackaged form! Kingly’s promotional compact T-shirts really create a buzz and build your brand’s visibility!
