A Mark of Excellence and Heritage
royal approval
since 1989
We were awarded the Royal Warrant in 1989, and since then have proudly upheld the tradition of excellence it represents. This mark of recognition has inspired us to continue crafting socks and knitwear of the highest quality, combining timeless Welsh craftsmanship with the values of integrity, service, and innovation.
What Does It Mean To Have A Royal Warrant
Corgi holds a Royal Warrant of Appointment, a rare distinction granted to companies that have supplied the Royal Household over many years. This honour recognises not only the exceptional quality of our socks and knitwear, but also the craftsmanship, service, and integrity that have defined our family business since 1892. Carrying the Royal Arms is both a privilege and a responsibility—one that inspires us to uphold the very highest standards in everything we do.
