New for 2021: I’m so proud to be able to offer these new sock designs in a wider range of sizes. They’re made in small batches in the EU by my new favourite family-owned company.

During my undergraduate degree I had the opportunity to take a course on atmospheric physics and meteorology, which I found fascinating! As it happens, I also took a Spanish course, but that wouldn’t make such good scientifically accurate designs…!

About the Atmospheric Strata design:

The Earth’s atmosphere has been categorised by scientists into five different layers, or ‘strata’, each with distinctive characteristics. I designed these socks to show a cross-section through these layers, with examples of some of the things you might find in each zone. The altitude of each layer is 100% accurate; I’ve used a log scale to make sure your socks are a sensible height…!

You can find individual pairs of strata socks here, and washi tape here.

About the Cloud Types design:

Meteorologists, or Nephologists (people who study clouds) categorise clouds into five main forms: stratus, cirrus, stratocumulus, cumulus, and cumulonimbus. If one of these types of clouds occurs high up in the atmosphere it gets the prefix 'cirro-', whereas the prefix 'alto-' refers to mid-level clouds. I made this design to show a variety of different cloud types at different atmospheric heights (the atmospheric altitudes are to scale, of course!), with a huge cumulonimbus cloud spanning all strata.

You can find individual pairs of cloud types socks here, and washi tape here.

About the washi tape:

Each roll is 1.5cm wide and 10m long.

Did you know that the name ‘washi’ tape is derived from 'wa' meaning 'Japanese' and 'shi' meaning 'paper'? It’s so versatile - washi tape is tearable, reusable, water resistant and biodegradable. It’s often used for decoration (colourful bullet journals everywhere can attest to this!), gift wrapping, scrap booking, and generally jazzing up your life.

About the socks:

I designed these luxury socks in my studio just outside Paris, and they are manufactured by a small independent company in the EU. Their high cotton content means that they’re super soft and of the highest quality. The toe is seamlessly joined and the cuff features a wide, soft rib to keep you comfortable all day long.
