At Genevieve Sweeney, every collection tells a story where heritage knitting techniques meet contemporary design. This season, the Argyle sock takes the spotlight — reinterpreting one of Britain’s most iconic patterns with fresh colour palettes, textured marls, and modern styling. Discover our luxury men’s and women’s  argyle wool socks that blend timeless design with everyday wearability.

Made in Derbyshire with Heritage Techniques

Each pair of our men’s and women’s wool socks are knitted in a small, family-run mill in Derbyshire, where traditional skills have been passed down through generations. We use a rare intarsia knitting machine, which delivers an immaculate, high-quality finish that’s almost impossible to replicate elsewhere. Every stitch reflects the dedication of local makers and continues the story of British knitwear heritage in the modern era.

Made in Derbyshire

Each pair is knitted in a small family-run mill in Derbyshire, where generations of skill and tradition are preserved. Using a rare intarsia knitting machine, our makers achieve a precision and finish that is unrivalled in modern sock production. Every stitch represents not only comfort and durability but also a continuation of British knitting heritage.

The History of Argyle

The Argyle pattern originates from the Scottish Highlands and is instantly recognisable for its bold diamonds and layered lines. At Genevieve Sweeney, we honour this timeless motif while giving it a contemporary edge — combining traditional intarsia techniques with vibrant hues and signature marl yarns to create socks that feel both classic and modern.

The Samar Argyle Sock

The Samar Argyle captures the essence of modern heritage. Crafted in Derbyshire using premium merino wool or organic cotton, it blends softness, durability, and playful design. The use of GS signature marl yarns and bold blocks of colour brings depth and vibrancy to the Argyle diamonds. Naturally breathable and temperature-regulating, the Samar is ideal for both tailoring and casual looks and available in men’s and women’s sizes.

The Saryl Argyle Sock

The Saryl Argyle brings an effortless and timeless twist to the womens argyle wool socks. This knee-high merino wool sock features intricate marl yarn detailing against a solid base, with contrasting rakering for a distinctive finish. It celebrates the skill of British knitters while introducing a modern colour palette that’s both functional and expressive — a contemporary take on a heritage classic.

The Salpaka Argyle Sock

The Salpaka Argyle is a subtle yet striking design. By twisting alpaca yarn with colourful merino wool, it creates a refined diamond colour block effect that showcases the beauty of natural fibres in a timeless, understated way.

Crafted with Care & Sustainability

All our socks are made with heritage knitting techniques at our Derbyshire mill, where time-honoured craftsmanship meets innovative yarn development. We use natural fibres and a thoughtful design approach to ensure each pair lasts — a true expression of slow luxury.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our merino wool is responsibly sourced for softness, warmth, and breathability. Our organic cotton socks are made from end-of-line production yarns, which Genevieve hand-selects and twists into fresh, vibrant hues — giving new life to materials that might otherwise go to waste.

This sustainable approach ensures each pair of luxury men’s and women’s socks are as unique as they are eco-conscious.

Heritage for the Modern Wardrobe

The Samar, Saryl, and Salpaka Argyle socks embody what Genevieve Sweeney stands for: preserving British knitwear heritage, celebrating traditional craftsmanship with a modern design twist. More than just accessories, these socks are expressions of joyful, unique and timeless style.
