Taupe - Super-Durable Wool

Have a look at these taupe knee-high socks from the Super-Durable range in wool, the perfect pair for winter, designed by the French brand Mazarin.

These socks are renowned for: 

• Their composition. Merino wool is an insulating, anti-bacterial and extremely soft material that will make you fall in love with these socks.
• Their strength. Polyamide has been specially chosen to reinforce the natural wool fibres, making them extra strong. In fact, polyamide is an incredible material, used for example in boat mooring lines. The Super-Durable range has been tested and approved by the Martindale Wear Test.
• Their fit. Super-Durable models are among the best-fitting socks on the market. Elastane adds the necessary flexibility to make them super comfortable, adapting perfectly to your leg without ever slipping down!
• Their finish. These socks are reinforced at the toe and heel, two areas particularly subjected to friction, increasing durability. They are also remeshed stitch by stitch, a technique that ensures no bulky seams for maximum comfort. 

Care: The wool used in the Super-Durable range has been treated to withstand washing at 40°. We recommend air-drying the socks in a horizontal position and never using the tumble dryer!
