Happy Socks

Have your feet been neglected? My guess is they haven’t been given the attention and love they deserve in the last little while. Thankfully Happy Socks have come to the rescue to spark up the sock section of your wardrobe.

Happy Socks are a hosiery brand from Sweden that manage to produce amazing cotton socks in classic stripes and pastels for only $12. Made in Turkey by a family company who have been in the business for more than 30 years, the company also make socks for the Belgian and Turkish, so they’re more than up to the job.

Happy Socks are made from combed cotton (80% combed cotton, 17% polyamide and 3% elastane), which is combed before being spun into threads. When it is combed, the short fibers fall out, while the stronger and comfier long fibers stay in. The cotton is then woven using Italian Lonati machines (famous for their high precision). The machines are computer controlled to ensure exact patterns, while the toe seams are sewn by hand to guarantee perfect fit. The hand linked toe seam means that there is no bulging overlap
at the toe, but a perfectly smooth seam, meaning these socks fit like gloves.

You can find them at Trust Fund and Road Trip. $12 per pair or 3 for $30.
