Ankle Socks

A young entrepreneur from New Zealand started Olive & Jet, motivated by Olive and Jet, the two alpacas he ran into while out jogging near Dunedin. Their fleece gave him the idea for a brand centred on what makes alpaca fibre special: a fibre that out-softs cashmere, out-warms wool and stays kind to the planet. Socks came first, as the easiest way to introduce this amazing fibre to daily life, yet that's only the start. We work with top alpaca textile specialists in China and aim to make natural clothing the norm. Keep watching, because a lot more is coming. 👀

Our alpaca wool comes ethically from South America, where alpacas wander freely over the highlands, a bit like sheep in New Zealand. The region has the oldest and best established alpaca wool industry anywhere. Each alpaca is shorn only once per year, usually in spring, in a fully humane process that is vital for their wellbeing because it stops them overheating when it gets warmer. After that the wool is cleaned with care, spun, and made into our premium socks. Compared with synthetic fibers, alpaca wool is natural and sustainable, and it delivers superb warmth, breathability, and comfort.

If you want a single sock that handles everything, from long trail days to slow Sunday afternoons, alpaca socks are the answer. We took alpaca, the finest natural fibre around, and built a sock tough enough for heavy-duty use yet gentle enough to wear around the house. With alpaca's remarkable temperature control, moisture-wicking and cloud-soft feel, these truly are the top everyday socks: rugged for any outdoor adventure and cozy for lazy Sunday mornings.

Ideal for:

• Hikers & runners – Breathable, warm, and built to fight blisters on any terrain or trail.
• Tradespeople & outdoor workers – Long-lasting comfort that survives boots and lengthy shifts.
• Everyday wearers – Wonderfully soft, no itch, and warmer than wool.
• Homebodies & anyone with cold feet – The perfect pick for frosty mornings and snug evenings.
• Anybody with delicate skin – With no lanolin there is no prickle, only pure, silky softness.

Heading out on an adventure or relaxing at home — Alpaca socks are made for both.

In several important ways, alpaca socks beat merino: more warmth, more softness and longer wear. The fibres naturally shed water and pull moisture away faster, so your feet remain dry and comfy whatever the weather. They are also hypoallergenic and, unlike merino wool, do not hold onto odors. If you want luxury and practicality together, nothing else compares to alpaca socks.

Our story kicked off a little over a year ago with the alpaca socks you see here, and there is plenty more to come! As the brand grows, we intend to build out a complete range of alpaca fibre products that bring the same quality and comfort to many natural, sustainable goods. Keep watching—a lot more is on the way!
