Berthe Aux Grands Pieds Socks Care Guide

Berthe Aux Grands Pieds socks, made from noble materials such as combed cotton, silk, Scottish thread, combed wool or cashmere, require specific care to preserve their beauty and durability. Contrary to popular belief, hand washing is not recommended , as it damages delicate knits. Here's how to care for your socks depending on their materials.

1. Combed cotton: softness and resistance

Combed cotton is a natural, soft and durable fiber, ideal for everyday socks.

Washing: machine wash your combed cotton socks at 30°C on a cotton program. Turn the socks inside out to protect their surface.
Drying: Let them air dry, away from a direct heat source such as a radiator or the sun.

2. Silk: elegance and delicacy

Silk, a luxurious and fragile material, requires special care to remain soft and shiny.

Washing: machine wash your silk socks at a low temperature (30°C maximum) in a washing net, and on a gentle program. Use a special silk or delicate detergent, without aggressive agents or fabric softener.
Drying: Lay your silk socks flat on a towel to air dry. Avoid tumble drying and direct heat sources.

3. Fil d’Ecosse: shine and resistance

Fil d'Ecosse, a mercerized cotton, offers shine and durability.

Washing: machine wash at 30°C with a delicate program. Use a washing net to avoid rubbing with other clothes.
Drying: Air dry your socks to preserve their shape and shine.

4. Combed Wool: warmth and suppleness

Combed wool is soft and insulating, but requires care to prevent damage.

Washing: wash your wool socks in the washing machine, using a specific “wool” program at a low temperature (30°C maximum). Use a detergent suitable for wool.

Drying: Avoid the dryer. Lay your socks flat on a towel and let them air dry in the shade.

5. Cashmere: luxury and comfort

Cashmere is a precious and delicate fiber, ideal for winter socks.

Washing: Machine wash your cashmere socks on a “wool” program with a special detergent for delicate fabrics. Place them in a washing net to avoid friction.
Drying: Leave them to dry flat, away from direct heat sources.
Additional care: To avoid pilling, store your socks flat and avoid folding them too tightly.

General advice for all subjects

• Turn your socks inside out before washing: this protects the patterns and colors from rubbing.
• Use a laundry net: it prevents the fibers from getting caught or worn out.
• Choose gentle products: choose detergents suitable for delicate fabrics and avoid bleaching or softening agents.
• Rotate your pairs: This extends the life of your socks by reducing wear and tear from overuse.
