Inspired by the iconic Breton sweater, a timeless wardrobe staple first worn by French sailors and later embraced by artists, designers and style icons, our Breton Stripe High Sock brings a fresh, contemporary take to this enduring classic.
Knitted from premium soft combed cotton with just the right amount of stretch for everyday comfort, these socks are breathable, lightweight and designed to hold their shape wear after wear. Finished with a contrast heel and toe, each colourway adds a playful pop while staying true to the effortless nautical spirit of the original Breton stripe.
Rather than a traditional ribbed cuff, we’ve designed a clean folded hem with the stripes flowing seamlessly right to the edge—creating a modern, minimalist finish that feels both elevated and unmistakably Billy Bamboo.

WASHING & CARING FOR COTTON:
Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle cycle or hand wash.
Wash with similar colours.
Turn inside out before washing to help preserve colour and minimise pilling.
Use a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Reshape while damp and lay flat or hang to air dry.
Avoid tumble drying, as excessive heat may cause shrinkage and reduce the lifespan of the fibres.
