Christchurch: Our Number One Sock Destination

At Lamington, we’ve been warming toes with our premium merino wool socks since 2005. From the tip of the North Island to the deep south, our socks have found homes across Aotearoa. But one city continues to stand out as a clear favourite: Christchurch.

Christchurch has become our number one destination for sock sales, and for good reason. With its crisp winters, active lifestyle, and love for quality New Zealand-made products, the people of Ōtautahi have truly embraced Lamington.

Why Merino Fits Ōtautahi’s Lifestyle

With its distinct seasons and cool climate, Christchurch truly understands the value of a great pair of socks. Our merino wool is ideal for the region’s changeable weather — warm when it’s cold, breathable when it’s not, and soft enough for all-day comfort.

Everyday comfort in every season

From frosty school mornings to strolls through Hagley Park or evenings by the fire, our socks fit perfectly into local life. Christchurch style blends function and thoughtfulness — timeless, well-made, and special. Lamington socks add a touch of colour and charm whether peeking from boots or keeping little toes warm in gumboots.

The Role of Our Wonderful Stockists

Our strong presence in Christchurch comes from a network of independent stockists. These family-owned stores share the Lamington story with care and expertise. Their support has been invaluable, and we love seeing Lamington socks proudly displayed in their spaces.

A City That Champions Local

Christchurch’s loyalty to local business runs deep. After all the city has rebuilt, there’s a renewed appreciation for small enterprises, ethical production, and NZ-made quality. Our Christchurch customers know that when they choose Lamington, they’re supporting local craftsmanship and keeping jobs in Aotearoa.

Christchurch Customers: Our Biggest Advocates

Christchurch customers are some of our most vocal champions — tagging us in photos, leaving kind reviews, or visiting their favourite stockist for another pair. We’ve seen Lamingtons gifted to new babies, worn by grandparents, tucked into schoolbags, and sent abroad in care packages.

As we look ahead, we’re excited to keep building on our Christchurch roots. Whether through new designs, collaborations, or community events, we’re committed to staying close to the people who’ve shaped our journey.

To everyone in the Garden City who has bought a pair, gifted a pair, or recommended us — thank you. We hope our socks continue to bring you comfort, warmth, and joy every time you pull them on.

Our biggest stockists in the area are Ballantynes and Frances Nation. Check them out!
