Orca Bamboo Socks

Orca Socks That Help Protect Marine Mammals

Elegant orca motif bamboo socks in subtle grey with distinctive black and white killer whale designs. Each pair contributes 10% of profits to Whale and Dolphin Conservation, supporting their work to protect orcas and other cetaceans from captivity, pollution, and hunting worldwide.

These aren't novelty socks that fall apart after a few washes. They're genuinely comfortable, well-made, and designed to last. The bamboo fabric feels luxurious, regulates temperature naturally, and stays fresh through long days.

Why Bamboo Works

Bamboo viscose creates exceptionally soft fabric with practical benefits cotton can't match:

• Temperature regulation: Keeps feet cool in summer, warm in winter
• Moisture-wicking: Draws sweat away from skin, preventing that clammy feeling
• Naturally antibacterial: Resists odour-causing bacteria, stays fresher longer
• Softer than cotton: Gentle on sensitive skin, no rough patches or irritation
• Durable: Maintains softness and shape through repeated washing

The Conservation Impact

10% of profits from every pair goes directly to Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC). They're the leading global charity dedicated exclusively to the protection of whales, dolphins, and porpoises, working in over 50 countries to end captivity, stop hunting, prevent deaths in fishing gear, and protect critical ocean habitats.

Orcas face multiple threats: pollution accumulates in their bodies through the food chain, noise pollution disrupts their echolocation and communication, ship strikes injure and kill them, and some populations are still hunted. The Southern Resident orcas off the Pacific Northwest number just 75 individuals, making them critically endangered.

Your socks support WDC's practical conservation work: lobbying governments to strengthen marine protections, funding research into orca populations and threats, working with fishermen to reduce bycatch, and campaigning to end the captivity industry that still holds orcas in tanks.

Responsible Manufacturing

Bare Kind produces these socks using certified sustainable processes:

OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Certified: Tested for over 1,000 harmful substances. The finished socks contain no toxic residues that could irritate your skin.

SEDEX Audited: Factory conditions are independently verified to ensure fair wages, safe working environments, and no exploitation. Workers are protected and paid properly.

Closed-loop processing: The bamboo viscose manufacturing recovers and reuses chemicals rather than releasing them into waterways. Lower environmental impact, safer for workers.

100% recyclable packaging: No plastic anywhere. The packaging can go straight into recycling.

Care Instructions

• Machine wash at 30°C (cold wash saves energy)
• Wash with similar colours
• Avoid tumble drying (air drying extends sock life)
• No bleach or fabric softener needed

Fit & Sizing

These are gender-neutral socks designed to fit comfortably on most adults. The bamboo fabric has natural stretch and gives, conforming to different foot shapes without feeling tight or restrictive.

Available in UK adult sizes 4-7 and 7-11.
