SOCKS

Kapital’s range of socks are designed in their trademark subversive style. Their Ivy Smiley socks, for example, look conventional at first glance. On closer inspection, a yellow smiley face decorates the heel reinforcement, hidden from view. The Kapital Gabbeh Patchwork socks knit together traditional Japanese patchwork techniques and Persian carpet design. Gabbeh rugs are typically made up of boxes of different colours and patterns, enclosed within a geometric framework. Therefore, the rugs give off the impression of being a patchwork of different stylistic whims. Teaming the gabbeh aesthetic with Kapital’s recurring patchwork style works beautifully. The socks are made from blocks of both duo-tone patterns and solid colours. The colouring is bright, but muted. Each pair is made from a blend of cotton, acryl, wool, and other materials.
