Violet - Cotton Lisle
These purple knee-high socks from the brand Gammarelli, also known as the Pope's tailor since 1798, are made of 100% cotton lisle.
The legend of Gammarelli begins with their red socks, but it continues with this purple shade, the colour traditionally worn by bishops. They are made in Italy from the best cotton lisle originary from Egypt, characterized by its fineness, lightness and brightness.
These knee-high socks can be combined in many different ways: wear them with dark simple colours (black, grey, navy blue) to create a beautiful contrast and add brightness to your outfit, or match them with colourful trousers for an eye-catching, eccentric look. Whatever you do, rest assured that these socks will bring elegance to your wardrobe and are sure to draw the attention of fashion connoisseurs.
