Corgi was founded in Carmarthenshire, Wales, in 1892 by Rhys Jones. The family business began by making woollen stockings and later developed finer socks and knitwear, with production remaining in Wales across generations.
The brand works with merino wool, cotton, cashmere and other fine yarns, combining classic hosiery with patterns such as Fair Isle and stripes. Corgi’s identity remains closely tied to Welsh manufacturing, traditional knitting skills and the use of natural fibers.
Corgi’s identity is closely tied to Welsh manufacturing, natural fibers and a long family history. Traditional knitting skills remain central to the business, while Fair Isle patterns, stripes and color give many of its socks and knitwear a more relaxed character than conventional dress hosiery.
