OUR STORY

Lamington began in New Zealand twenty years ago with a simple idea: to create beautifully designed socks that felt as good as they looked.

Founder Sarah Teensma was already building a design led children’s brand when she saw an opportunity to rethink the everyday sock. Inspired by the construction of ski socks, she created Lamington’s distinctive knee high style, complete with sizing knitted into the sole, a thoughtful detail that remains part of the brand today.

The first Lamington collection was created for infants, with a focus on warmth, comfort and thoughtful design. From there, the brand developed a distinctive aesthetic of its own, defined by refined colour, considered pattern and a recognisable design style that has become part of Lamington’s identity.

As Lamington grew, the range expanded naturally from infant and children’s socks into women’s, men’s, tights and everyday essentials, while staying true to the qualities that have defined the brand from the beginning.

Today, Lamington is a trusted New Zealand merino brand, known for beautiful design, exceptional quality and a long standing commitment to local manufacturing. Our collections continue to be made in New Zealand using carefully selected merino wool, working closely with trusted New Zealand manufacturers who share our focus on quality and attention to detail.

Twenty years on, Lamington remains independently owned and led by Sarah, supported by a dedicated team who share a belief in creating products that are thoughtful, beautiful and made to be worn and loved.

From first pairs for little feet to everyday favourites, Lamington has grown with its customers while remaining true to what has always mattered: distinctive design, natural fibres, trusted quality and New Zealand Made.
