Hocosa Baselayer

Hocosa of Switzerland is a prestigious heritage brand specializing in organic textile base layers and underwear. Founded in 1886 by Walter Achtnich-Glitsch in Winterthur, Switzerland, the company has maintained a steadfast commitment to high-quality natural fibers for over 135 years.

The brand's production is centered in Bedano, near Lugano, Switzerland, where it adheres to the strict environmental and quality standards required for the 'Swiss Made' label. Hocosa is well-known for its use of GOTS-certified organic wool, silk, and cotton, sourced ethically from locations like Argentina and Uruguay, with final processing often involving specialized weavers in Germany and Austria.

Ownership of the brand has transitioned through a few hands; it was acquired by Hochuli & Co in 1993, and subsequently by the Schwarz family in 1997 through the company Sawaco SA. Today, it remains a family-owned Swiss enterprise, continuing to innovate in the realm of skin-friendly, eco-conscious apparel for the entire family.
