  The Ribbed Cotton Sock

Originally a producer of dye stuff for the textile industry Filmar S.P.A has become a vertically integrated producer of high-end cotton yarns. The family owned business is currently run by the third generation with locations both in its birthtown in Italy and subsidiaries in Egypt. In Egypt Filmar operate a network of organic cotton farms, spinning and dyeing facilities with support from the UNIDO project (United Nations Industrial Development Organization). Their Italian location is specialized in spinning and yarn dyeing. Filmar are committed to reducing their environmental footprint, managing chemicals and waste water in adherence with the Greenpeace DETOX program and the ZDHC guidelines. We source Filmar yarns that originate both from their own farms in Egypt, and other locations. Our melange yarns are spun and dyed in Egypt, whereas our solid yarns are spun in Egypt but dyed at their Italian facility.
