Violet - Cotton Lisle
These are the famous 100% cotton lisle socks from Gamameralli, here in a violet mid-calf model.
Violet is one of the 4 emblematic colours of the Gammarelli house, also known as tailor of the Popes since 1798. This pair is a true must-have not only because of its colour but also its unique history.
This shade of purple is very subtle: relatively light, it enhances your darker outfits by bringing out the contrasts of colours when worn with black, navy or grey. A very refined touch of originality that will make you stand out without compromising your elegance! This is precisely the colour worn by bishops, another proof of its elegance and refinement.
These mid-calf socks are made in Italy from Egyptian cotton lisle, renowned for its fineness, lightness and the brightness of its thread. You will appreciate the quality of the finishing touches: the socks are reinforced at the toe and heel and remeshed stitch by stitch to make them respectively more resistant and comfortable.
