Background of Corgi of Ammanford In 1893 Rhys Jones began manufacturing high quality hosiery in the welsh mining village of Ammanford. Over a century later, the great great grandchildren of the founder are still using the traditional methods of hand manufacture to produce socks and knitwear in luxurious yarns. Corgi have achieved many accolades over the years, the most prestigious being the royal warrant for the HRH prince of Wales in 1988. Today the company produces hand framed knitwear and socks for many of the most discerning markets in the world, and after a century of dedication corgi have the ability to manufacture knitwear of such a high quality that it is unequalled in the market place today. images courtesy Corgi Hosiery
