Fashionable, functional or gift-led, CWB’s pick of children’s socks and tights covers all bases.
The Little Sock Company
The Little Sock Company’s (pictured above) stay-on, non-slip socks for babies and toddlers are multi-awarded for style and functionality. As well as not falling off, the non-slip soles support first steps. A special cuff on the socks, meanwhile, ensures that they don’t dig into a child’s legs. Various styles and designs are available, including Frilly, Cosy, Sporty and Original. All of the brand’s socks are cotton-rich, with a large part of the range available in organic cotton. In 2020, The Little Sock Company launched its gift-led Mini+Me sock sets with matching socks for little ones and grown-ups. It also has a range of non-slip crawling leggings and non-slip, stay-up tights. For wholesale enquiries contact katie@thelittlesockcompany.com.

Highlights include the Mini Me Gift Boxes with matching socks for parent and baby. There are also Newborn+ Gift Boxes for 0-12 months comprising five pairs of socks in designs ranging from My First Christmas through to Baby Safari. Plus, gift box sets for 1-2 and 2-4 years, also containing five pairs of socks in designs such as Rainbow, Dippy the Dinosaur, Little Stars and Mini Ballet.

Sock Monkeyz
Sock Monkeyz was launched in 2022 as an additional arm of Gregory Pollard, a business established in 1932 and the only dedicated school sock supplier with a manufacturing base in the UK. Founded on this extensive experience, Sock Monkeyz offers high-quality, British-made socks tailored towards fashion and apparel retailers, along with sports clubs and corporate events. Sock Monkeyz manufactures all its socks on cutting-edge machinery in its own factory right here in the UK. The business has invested in new machinery and recently took delivery of three new finer gauge machines that will allow it to knit even finer detailed logos. Many custom-made sock designs, colourways and styles are available in both large and small amounts (only 36 pairs minimum order). Sock Monkeyz caters for children’s sizes 6 to 8.5 right up to adult size 11-13. It also provides samples free of charge and has CAD facilities to create sock designs for clients before producing a physical sample.

Country Kids
Country Kids was established in 1983 by a young British couple working out of a small apartment in downtown New York City. It was the first company to develop a cotton blend tight available in a wide range of colours – 12 to be precise – which was a vast array in the early 80s. Forty years on and still going strong, Country Kids’ luxury cotton tights offer now extends to 45 shades (including Back to School ranges) with sizes from baby up to teenager. From its Surrey-based headquarters, the brand supplies a complete range of children’s tights and socks. Highlights include plain Lycra Sheers, Microfibre Opaques, and sparkly tight ranges featuring glitter bows, stars and hearts. Plus, soft gold and silver sparkly tights, also available in a footless version. Boys’ socks, meanwhile, are available in camo, dinosaur and fire engine prints. Finally, there are Animal Slipper Socks featuring non-slip pads on the soles. For wholesale enquiries contact info@countrykidstights.com.
