Like many great ideas, Lamington’s story starts with a mum who needed a better solution.

When Lamington founder, Sarah Teensma’s, daughters were young, she shared a frustration familiar to most parents - socks that simply won’t stay up or stay on active little legs. Already running her own t-shirt business and looking to expand her brand, she saw an opportunity to not only add socks to her range, but to design them exactly the way she wanted them for her own children.

Sixteen years on, Lamington has established a global reputation for producing high-quality merino socks and tights, made in New Zealand and stocked in high-end retailers throughout the country - and the world.
