Antonio Prahl - impact socks

ethical socks

Make a difference with every step

Antonio Prahl is a Guatemalan entrepreneur who has turned his family knitwear business ‘Pralin’ which was set up in 1969, into a modern, stylish and contemporary socks manufacturing company. Antonio set up this environmentally friendly socks manufacturing unit in one of Guatemala’s poorest regions and trained the local population while providing jobs and access to utilities to the majority of the region.

These gorgeous, soft, comfortable cotton rich socks support almost an entire village in Guatemala with training, skills development & fair employment. 

Encouraging art: A unique collaboration of art, craft and social impact. It is often said that supporting children to build their creative skills has great impact on their overall wellbeing... but who would have thought that encouraging children to express their creative talent in one part of the world could have such a massive impact on supporting a whole village in in another part of the world? 

Collection at the WTO: 

  • Unicorn socks

    The design with prancing unicorns is inspired by drawings of 7 year old Emily from Scotland, who loves unicorns, rainbows, stickers and art. She thought having unicorns on her socks would be quite cool! 

    • Which one are you?

      This colourful, bright and fun design " which are you today?" is all about how we feel each morning.... sometimes a 'happy feeling' and sometimes 'not so much', while subtly making reference to the unpredictability of the famous British weather! This design is inspired from drawings of 7 year old Dhruv in London. 

       

      Eden - jewellery that saves lives

      What if your jewellery brought hope to the darkest trafficking hubs in Asia?

      Eden jewellery does just that. Eden reach, rescue, and restore women coming out of human trafficking. Eden has a thorough and innovative victim support program that is holistic in its approach, and highly effective in the restoration of victims. Eden has established multiple safe shelters, developed an international jewellery social enterprise and witnessed thousands of people involved in commercial sexual exploitation be impacted. Eden provides safe shelter, trauma informed care, vocational training and employment to empower each woman who comes through their doors to find their worth, dignity and renewed hope for the future. All profits from the jewellery social enterprise directly benefit each woman who comes to Eden (salary, services, shelter and other programs), so that more of the women who leave the red light districts can be provided with the opportunity to gain training and employment.
