About Pringle
Pringle of Scotland is one of Britain's most iconic knitwear and hosiery brands, with a heritage stretching back to 1815 when Robert Pringle established the company in Hawick in the Scottish Borders. Originally producing hosiery and underwear, the brand has been crafting cashmere since 1870 and remains synonymous with quality British craftsmanship and timeless style. The brand is perhaps best known for originating the iconic argyle pattern, the geometric diamond motif that has become one of fashion's most recognisable designs. First elevated to cult status by the Duke of Windsor, the argyle pattern remains central to Pringle's identity. Throughout their history, Pringle has dressed royalty, Hollywood icons like Grace Kelly and Brigitte Bardot, and champion golfers including Nick Faldo and Colin Montgomerie. Pringle's roots in hosiery mean their socks carry over 200 years of expertise in fit, comfort, and quality. The brand combines traditional Scottish knitting knowledge with modern technology to deliver products that stand the test of time. While now owned by Hong Kong-based S.C. Fang & Sons since 2000, many Pringle cashmere products are still made in Scotland using signature Scottish-spun yarn. Available at UK supermarkets and retailers, Pringle socks and hosiery offer consumers a taste of genuine British heritage at accessible prices. Whether you're seeking everyday comfort or the brand's classic designs, Pringle delivers the quality that has made them a trusted name in British wardrobes for over two centuries.
