We’re currently in the process of reducing all unnecessary packaging.
Our factory is constantly vetted by independent groups and regularly undergoes social and factory audits from recognized groups such as WRAP and SEDEX. It is certified by OEKO-TEX, Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS) and Fairtrade International.

Payment & Promotions
You can only use one discount code at a time.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and Paypal.
First time codes are valid on orders of $30 or more. They are not valid on digital gift cards or subscriptions.
Product & Sizing
Yes, we offer select styles in US Women's 14+ and US Men's 13+. Filter by size when shopping to find your styles!
Reference our size guide to find your fit!
We donate $1 per pair, $1 per candle and $5 per sweatshirt to our nonprofit partner.
We recommend washing with cold water and drying on low heat. This helps reduce shrinkage and energy consumption, that’s good for the socks and for the planet!
Our current socks are composed of 80% Fairtrade Organic Cotton, 18% Recycled Polyester, 2% Elastane. In the past, they were composed of 75% Fairtrade Organic Cotton, 23% Recycled Polyester, and 2% Spandex, so some products may reflect this on their packaging.
Organic cotton is not treated, so laundering on low heat will cause some shrinkage during the first wash. This is normal! After the first wash, they won’t shrink anymore.
Our black string on single-pair packaging does a little more than replace plastic waste. It also makes it easy to open! Instead of cutting it, pull the loose end of the string, and it will release the pair from the packaging easily.

Higher tiers in the VIP tier program earn more points at a quicker rate, but 100 points always = $10 dollars. For Example, as an enthusiast, you will earn 1 point for every dollar you spend. So, if you spend $150, you'll earn 150 points = $15 dollars.When you move up to become an activist, you will be earning points 1.25x as fast, ex. spend $100→ earn 125 points.The world-changers will earn points 1.5x as fast, earning $15 dollars on a $100 purchase.
Your points will expire after one year of inactivity. Inactivity includes not interacting with our program i.e., redeeming points, placing an order, etc.

If you use your rewards towards a purchase and later decide to return that item, your rewards will be credited back to your rewards account. For example, if you use $10 coupon towards a $100 purchase that you decide to return, the $90 balance will be refunded on your credit card and the $10 reward credit will be deposited back into your rewards account.
