How the score breaks down
How we know
Desk research, 10 October 2026. Peper Harow makes socks in West Sussex, and most of them are Supima or Egyptian cotton. Its range also includes cashmere-blend socks (9% cashmere), wool boot and ski socks, silk ties, and cufflinks set in English bone china, often inside bundles, gift boxes and wedding sets. So the brand carries a red tag. Every product page gives a material line with percentages, recycled lines say how much is recycled, and socks carry a one-year quality guarantee. It names no factory or mill, and GOTS and GRS are claimed without a certificate we could check. About 170 pieces in its Awin feed are no longer on its own site, so we have left them out of the Shop along with the cufflink gift boxes.

Questions people ask about Peper Harow
- Is Peper Harow vegan?
- No. Peper Harow sells cashmere, wool and silk, so its range is not vegan and it carries our red tag. Any animal-free pieces we list from it score 50 points below what the same evidence would earn from a brand that clears both gates.
- Does Peper Harow test on animals?
- We found no evidence that it does. It has not yet given us a signed no-testing declaration, so we cannot confirm it either.
- What is Peper Harow's Fashion Without Cruelty score?
- −85. The rubric gives it 15 of 100 for what it publishes, then 50 points come off for selling animal-derived materials and a further 50 for the materials themselves. Red scores always sit below zero.
- Can Peper Harow earn the Good badge?
- Not while it sells animal-derived materials. A red brand cannot be verified, so no fee can change its score.
