Collection: Socko
Emma is the founder of sustainable, unisex sock brand Socko. Socko is on a mission to extend the active life of clothing by re-teaching the lost art of darning. Emma has taught over 200 people to mend, both in person and via Socko's online workshops.
The average item of clothing is only worn 10 times before being discarded and this is
often due to damage that can easily be repaired. Mending our clothes instead of throwing them away and buying new has a positive impact on the environment as well as our purse strings.
Emma's first book, How to Quit Fast Fashion was published in October 2020, giving
practical tips on things we can all do to have a more sustainable wardrobe. She lives in Harringey with her husband and their sausage dog Alan.
