FAQ

Is this stocking suitable for a fireplace?

It depends. While it is made of a cotton blend, it is not chemically fire-retardant treated (to keep it eco-friendly). Always ensure it is hung at a safe distance from open flames or heat sources common in UK homes during winter.

Does it contain any wool?

No, it is 100% animal-free. The soft texture is achieved through the brushing of recycled cotton fibres rather than the addition of wool or mohair, making it entirely suitable for vegan households.

Is the print durable?

Yes, the reindeer motif is heat-pressed using eco-friendly pigments that are designed to resist cracking and peeling, even after several years of being packed away in festive storage boxes.
