Sampling is an essential Part of the Socks Industry.

We at Apricot Believe it is critical to touch and feel the design you have got made before you place a bulk order for it.

Also having a sample allows one to use it's professional photo on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc to get the market feedback on the designs selected by you. We have a no minimums Policy At Apricot because we understand how important it is to test the market before you commit to a larger quantity.

The smart buyers today have more styles and less quantity so that they can let the market show them the bestsellers to reorder.

We at Apricot Socks, have a huge variety of Colors in stock to make your sample from.

This is usually close enough to get the touch & feel right.

Lot of our customers get salesman samples made from us and give them to their sales team to show to the small retailers and retail level decision owners to place orders for.

Whatever your needs may be, let us know and we are happy to work to find a solution together.
