History

Founded in 1892 by Rhys Jones in Ammanford, Wales, Corgi began as a producer of stockings for local colliery workers. The company transitioned into luxury hosiery and knitwear, maintaining family ownership for four generations. It received a Royal Warrant from the Prince of Wales in 1989. Corgi occupies a specific niche in fashion history by bridging industrial-era utility with contemporary high-fashion collaborations, supplying hand-linked socks to global luxury houses.
