The Swiss Guard, established in 1506, is the world's earliest permanent militia. Originating in Switzerland, it functions as the Pope's personal security in Vatican City.
Originally formed to defend the Pontifical State, the Swiss Guard became renowned for their loyalty, discipline, and distinctive Renaissance-style uniforms. Our designs, inspired by these extraordinary individuals and their uniforms, honour their legacy. Each sock is meticulously crafted with inward-facing closures and pointed extremities that mimic the shape of their socks and shoes. On each calf are the two crests of the Swiss Guard, displaying their proud symbols. As you wear these socks, you will be reminded of the Swiss Guard's illustrious past and the dedication and valour that have made them an icon of security and tradition. Celebrate their legacy and stand tall, just like the extraordinary Swiss Guard, with every step.
