Diabetic Socks

Olive & Jet was founded by a young entrepreneur from New Zealand, inspired by two alpacas he met on a run near Dunedin — Olive and Jet. Their fleece sparked the idea for a brand built on the unmatched qualities of alpaca fibre: softer than cashmere, warmer than wool, and naturally sustainable. We started with socks — the simplest way to bring this incredible fibre into everyday life — but this is just the beginning. Partnering with world-class alpaca textile specialists in China, we're committed to making natural clothing the new standard. Stay tuned — there's much more to come. 👀

Our alpaca wool is ethically sourced from South America, where alpacas roam freely across the highlands much like sheep do in New Zealand. This region is home to the most mature and established alpaca wool industry in the world. Alpacas are shorn just once a year, typically in spring — a completely humane process that is essential for their wellbeing, helping them avoid overheating in warmer months. The wool is then carefully cleaned, spun, and crafted into our premium socks. Unlike synthetic fibers, alpaca wool is a natural and sustainable material that offers outstanding warmth, breathability, and comfort.

Alpaca socks are for people who want one sock to do it all — from days on the trails to lazy Sundays. We've taken the ultimate natural fibre, alpaca, and crafted a sock that's built for hardcore use — but soft enough for everyday lounging. Thanks to alpaca's incredible temperature regulation, moisture-wicking power, and cloud-like softness, these are seriously the best everyday socks — tough enough for any outdoor adventure, soft enough for Sunday mornings. Ideal for: ✔ Hikers & runners – Breathable, warm, and blister-fighting for all terrains and trails. ✔ Trade & outdoor workers – Durable comfort that holds up in boots and long days. ✔ Everyday wearers – Luxuriously soft, itch-free, and warmer than wool. ✔ Loungers & cold-foot haters – Your go-to for chilly mornings and cozy nights. ✔ Anyone with sensitive skin – No lanolin = no itch, just pure, silky comfort. Whether you're off on a mission or kicking back at home — Alpaca socks are built for it.

Alpaca socks outperform merino in key areas: they're warmer, softer, and more durable. Alpaca fibres are naturally water-resistant and wick moisture better, keeping your feet dry and comfortable in any condition. Plus, they're hypoallergenic and don't retain odors like merino wool. For the ultimate blend of luxury and practicality, alpaca socks are simply unbeatable.

Olive & Jet launched late last year with our flagship alpaca socks, and we're just getting started! As our brand grows, we plan to expand into a full line of alpaca fibre products, offering the same quality and comfort across a variety of natural, sustainable items. Stay tuned—there's much more to come!
