Sheep and alpaca wool are incredibly warm. Cotton and hemp are notoriously durable. Combining warmth and durability
Wear your wool socks once every 2-3 days allowing wrinkles to smooth out and fibers to recover naturally. No need to wash after every wear.
Put cedar balls, lavender or other moths protecting material to your socks drawer to prevent them from early deterioration.
Take good care of your feet. It can prevent snags and tears on your socks.
Lana Bambini are passionate about making quality, long-lasting, clothing and make it in an ethical and environmentally responsible way.
They make the finest socks handcrafted in а small family-run atelier in the Lombardy region of Northern ltaly. The best natural materials and artisanal handmade quality combine to create а collection of warm and cosy socks.
They use only natural materials including alpaca wool, organic cotton, biological hemp, and natural linen. Not using any synthetic components was a choice they made as they believe it is better for your health and for the environment. We would all agree that we would rather wear socks that are comfortable, breathable, anti-allergenic, anti-bacterial, naturally flame resistant and suitable for everyone than sacrifice those qualities for making products that are cheaper to produce.
That's why Lana Bambini pay close attention to the quality of the raw materials used, low harmfulness of the dyes and the limitation and recyclability of packaging, minimising waste.
"I love wearing these all the time. Somehow they are comfortable whatever the weather. Without precautions they soon wear out at the heel. So I wear clogs around the house and tight fitting walking boots outside and they wear well. After a little while they stretch; so I put them with the rest of my washing and normal detergent at 30 degrees Centigrade and they shrink nicely. It is possible to wear them for days and it’s a miracle, they don’t smell and my feet feel fresh! Although one bite from a dog and they need darning. They are lighter than my socks made out of artificial fibres. In summary, although they don’t wear well, I find them a luxury well worth having. The Sara socks are just as good."

I'd recommend this to a friend.
"I have tried several socks from CB and have loved them all. But these are possibly my favorite. They are a joy to touch and even more beautiful than the pictures. They also breathe better than any sock I have found. I prefer them to the Sara, which were slightly more rustic (of a less fine texture). Highest recommendation"

Sizing: A little generous
"I don't like to leave negative reviews but I thought my insights might be useful this time. I am a fan of rustic yarns, I happily wear scratchier yarns but these socks were just unpleasant to wear next to the skin. I found the sizing to be on the large side as well and so I feel they would be best suited as boot socks worn over another pair of socks but if you were looking for an everyday sock I'd advise against these."
This was washed... not needed washing yet
I wouldn't really recommend this to a friend.
"Have bought x2 pairs for Christmas and x1 pair for myself which I put on as soon as the parcel arrived! Lovely socks, they’re super warm and slightly generous on sizing which I prefer. Incredible service from Cambridge Baby - super speedy despatch and delivery, thank you!"
