Solo Licensing Expands Soothing Brand


(Filed Under wholesale Hosiery News). Solo Licensing has expanded its Hydra Therapeutic brand for next fall after a successful launch for fall 2009. The brand, which is now trademarked, encompasses a fall line of more than 50 pieces including sweater and non-skid socks, trouser socks and tights. Styles are infused with vitamin E, aloe and shea butter, which moisturizes the wearer’s skin and makes for an ultra-soft hand, according to Fern Pochtar, vice president and design director of the company. Wholesale prices run from $2.50 to $4.50.

“What we are presenting for Fall 2010 is huge, and we have redesigned the brand’s packaging for many of the lounge sock items with non-skid bottoms. It looks fabulous,” she said.

Brand-new under Hydra Therapeutic is a line of men’s and women’s socks for diabetics made from combed cotton. Pochtar described these socks as non-constrictive with hand-linked toe closures.

“People with diabetes often have very sensitive skin on their feet,” she explained. “They don’t want anything that will constrict their blood flow. [Our socks for diabetics] have the lowest compression possible, and yet stay up. All styles are infused with aloe and vitamin E, which adds to their softness. We have [also] totally redesigned the packaging for this collection.”

Included in the line are crew-length socks with a half-cushion and full-cushion, quarter-length socks, no-show socks and dress socks.

Also new under Hydra Therapeutics is a line of yoga and pilates open-toe and closed-toe women’s socks that keep the wearer’s feet from sliding while working out. They are made from a blend of nylon feather, bamboo and microvelour.

“This eliminates the need for the non-skid mats that some pilates classes use,” Pochtar said. “All work-out situations are so different, and with the non-skid socks, you will not slide no matter what surface you are on.”

Under its Earth Grown brand, the company has added bamboo styles that blended with cashmere and angora.
