 Best way to get over holiday blues? Pretend you're still on holiday. Relive the memory! That's what we're doing here anyway. On a side note, they also say to help with those holiday blues you should spend as much time as possible outside. One of the reasons we feel so content and well on holiday is because we're spending all our time in natural daylight rather than artificial light in our homes and work places. So go on, get back outside! Do you really need any more excuses?   Keep reading to see some of our holiday styles wearing Teddy...

  We recently spent a day photographing one of our new brand ambassadors; eventer Kirsty Short. We asked Kirsty if she would write a few words about herself and what it's like to juggle eventing with University.     "Hi everyone!

We work very closely with one of the oldest sock manufacturers in Great Britain, also one of the very few that are left. They operate in a small village, tucked away behind some houses producing over eight thousand pairs of quality socks each week. They remain very traditional in their techniques, which they crafted over many years in a family business producing mainly cotton, wool and alpaca socks. They use old and new machinery to make traditional double cylinder socks, then their highly skilled craftspeople hand-link...

What makes a pair of luxury Teddy Edward socks so special?  At Teddy Edward, we are immensely proud of our devotion to British craftsmanship. Our Brocklesby, Cheshire and Dartmoor luxury Alpaca blend socks have exceptional craftsmanship in their hand-linked toe seams.
