Knee-high
Academy Green - Super-Durable Cotton Lisle
Take a look at one of the best-sellers from the brand Mazarin, the academy green knee-high socks in Super-Durable cotton lisle!
Academy green is the iconic colour of the Mazarin brand, directly inspired by the olive branches that decorate the habits worn by academicians. It is a very elegant dark green, which adds a touch of whimsy to your more sober outfits.
These socks are part of the world's sturdiest range, tested and approved by a world-renowned test (the Martindale test) for wear resistance. The combination of the best natural materials (cotton lisle from Egypt) and synthetic materials (polyamide) gives this range its particular strength and durability.
Knit in outstanding Italian workshops, these knee-high socks feature a seamless toe-linking to avoid central seams at the toe and are also reinforced at the toe and heel.
