SOCKS
There’s nothing more satisfying than a perfect trouser break with playful socks peeking from beneath. Here at HANSEN, we stock socks for this very purpose, from Japanese brand Kapital and organic German brand Merz B. Schwanen.

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.

The Merz B. Schwanen socks are made in a different style altogether. Their designs follow the company ethos - they are brilliant basics. Their ‘Good Basics’ socks are made from 80% recycled wool and 20% recycled polyester. They are comfortable and sustainable - what a winning combination.

Merz B. Schwanen also produces organic sports socks which are available here at HANSEN. The wool comes from controlled organic livestock farming. This means it is both more ethical and better for the environment. The 100% natural material feels lovely next to the skin.Finally, there are the Merz B. Schwanen fine striped wool socks, again made from 100% organic wool. Each of their pieces are made in Germany out of soft, breathable materials. They are comfortable to wear and are respectful of the natural world too.
