Australian Makers

Humphrey Law

In 1947, Sidney Humphrey and Albert Law built the original Humphrey Law factory on what used to be a lemon orchard in Heathmont, Victoria.

From the very beginning, the company focused on making quality socks from the finest natural yarns available. Humphrey Law continues under the management of Albert Law’s son Rob and senior staff to ensure continuation of 100% Australian Manufacturing.

The company continues to innovate its manufacturing practices and designs – using alpaca yarn and locally sourced merino wool - to create a wide range of comfy, functional socks.

“We make our socks locally with a lot of natural fibres – because that’s the best way to make socks.”
