The confident elegance of an uninhibited prelate

Since 1798 the GAMMARELLI family has been devoted to ensuring the elegance of the Popes. The care of these legendary tailors has contributed to the esteemed reputation of their attire across borders.

Several years later, MAZARIN GRAND FAISEUR began making green socks for members of France’s Académie Française. Since 1801, this particular shade of green has been derived from silk thread embroidered on the famous habit vert representing the olive branch.

Mes Chaussettes Rouges is pleased and proud to offer exclusive products from GAMMARELLI and MAZARIN GRAND FAISEUR.

 We would like to extend an invitation for you to join our inner circle by wearing these socks.

Some of our products

Mes Chaussettes Rouges - My Red Socks in French - exclusively brings you the luxury hosiery collections of Gammarelli and Mazarin Grand Faiseur—undoubtedly the finest socks available online.

We understand that there’s nothing quite like the comfort of a well-fitting sock, which is why we offer all our socks in half-size increments (and we’re the only online retailer to do so). Since sizes range from 3½  to 13, or Continental sizes 36 to 48, they’re ideal for both men and women of just about every shoe size. And the incomparably fine knit only will only add to your overall comfort and well-being.

We’re confident that these socks will delight the most exacting hosiery connoisseurs—offering complete satisfaction from toe to knee, and from black through a spectrum of exciting colours.

We only choose to carry socks made from premium materials. Both Gammarelli and Mazarin offer socks made from the finest cotton lisle, while Gammarelli’s styles are also available in merino wool. This strict approach to quality enables us to offer socks which are remarkably fine and supremely comfortable, but which are hard-wearing enough to last for wash after wash after wash.

Perhaps more than any other garment, the sock must prove its worth every day (and with every step). At all times, it’s in close moving contact with both the foot and the shoe—which is why the greatest care must be taken in the manufacturing process to achieve both comfort and longevity. Careful hand-finishing makes our socks finer, more flexible and more enjoyable to wear.

Despite our name, our socks are available in a wide range of colours, not just red! However, we do think Gammarelli’s red socks  sum up what we’re all about. They’re the indispensibly mischievous addition to every wardrobe, for both men and women.

Within the collection you’ll find socks in restrained shades such as Academy Green, Black, Navy Blue, Heather Grey, Burgundy and Beige, which are ideal for more sober or formal wear. But we also love the exuberant colours such as Red, Violet, Pink, Raspberry, Christmas Tree Green, Light Blue, Yellow and Orange, which offer cheeky splashes of colour throughout the year.

Mes Chaussettes Rouges also offers a range of exceptional sports socks for both men and women, specially designed for a range of sports including hunting, horse-riding, skiing and walking. Made in the grand tradition of hosiery excellence, our hunting socks come with a turn-down top and garters.
