Regularly visiting the source of the SOLIT product is a must. Socks seem like a common product that has been around for a long time, but a perfected SOLIT sock requires more than just that. What do we think about and what are the most important points of attention?
Part of SOLIT production takes place in Turkey. The SOLIT labels often feature 'Made in Turkey'. The current production location was chosen after SOLIT's buyer visited a number of factories in 2020.
Why this place and not another factory?
In the production of socks it is important that the working conditions are good and that there is room for growth, both for the physical location and the vision of the factory itself. Given the history of the sock production, it was a strict requirement to keep a supplier who has included various digital developments in the process. The factory where the SOLIT socks are produced is actively working on this.
The OEKO-TEX label
For good working conditions it is important that the factory meets a standard, namely carrying the OEKO-TEX label .
When a product carries the label 'OEKO-TEX® certified', it means that it is completely free of harmful chemicals and safe for people. When walking through the production halls and storage areas, it became clear that this is strictly adhered to. In this way, a location naturally also remains attractive to other customers from the EU or internationally.
The production of SOLIT socks
When it comes to the production of ankle socks, it is good to look at how both the toe of the sock and the band are finished. Firstly, SOLIT works with a double woven band; the top edge of the sock is double woven and then stitched closed. This is a process that is not used in the production of long winter socks, so not all areas are suitable for this. In addition, it is important for the sock to be stitched closed seamlessly at the toes. This is closed by hand and carefully processed. All this to ensure that the customer does not ultimately experience irritation from a palpable edge. The employees who take care of this process are fully present at the SOLIT production locations.
