Staff Recommended Socks for November
November is the season when autumn deepens and we have more time to enjoy reading during the long nights.
With each turn of a page, a new world opens up, and you discover new stories. This joy doesn't just come from inside a book.
Each of the four socks we're introducing today has a deep story behind it: British gastronomy, Hong Kong street culture, Eastern auspicious beliefs, and even the unknown history of cotton.
Welcome to a little intellectual adventure that starts from your feet.
Gourmet Tie Dye - Gourmet Memories Nurtured in Derbyshire
Derbyshire, England, is known for its vast natural beauty and numerous award-winning restaurants. This region is a gathering place for gourmets, and is home to baked pudding and blue Stilton cheese. These tie-dye socks are inspired by these two famous dishes, each hand-dyed by an artisan.
The taste of the land, captured in the colors
The pink represents baked pudding, and the blue represents Stilton cheese. Both are symbols of Derbyshire's food culture. Each pair is hand-dyed, so no two pairs are alike. Your pair will be one of a kind.
The joy of knowing, the joy of wearing
"The colour of these socks is actually inspired by traditional British cuisine." A pair of socks with a story to spark a conversation. With a background that stimulates intellectual curiosity, each time you wear them you will be reminded of a small discovery.
Styling suggestions
We recommend styling the tie-dye with simple sneakers or loafers to make the most of its unique pattern. It makes a great accent piece.
*Since each pair is dyed by hand, there will be individual differences between each pair.
*There is a possibility of color fading, so we recommend washing it separately from light-colored items.

FOX fleece -Memories of cotton, from ancient times to the present-
Did you know that cotton was originally brown, not white? This pair of shoes is woven with the unknown history of cotton.
Sally Fox's Challenge
American biologist Sally Fox succeeded in reviving an ancient species of cotton using organic farming methods. By repeatedly cross-breeding it with extra-long staple cotton during breeding, the cotton became smooth and soft. Furthermore, the green color was born by chance, making this a truly miraculous story.
Modern cotton is white, the result of repeated breeding to make it easier to use commercially, but this brown cotton retains the warmth of nature.
The essence of dye-free
The inner layer is made from organic Indian fabric with a special twisting technique, and is characterized by its unique texture and natural shades of undyed fabric. It is not very lightfast, and color variations may occur depending on the time of production, but this is a testament to the naturalness of the organic farming method.
These shoes allow you to experience the history of cotton and its soft texture. The more you learn about them, the more you'll grow to love them.
Styling suggestions
We recommend pairing it with boots or leather shoes to take advantage of its natural texture. The gentle color of the undyed material adds warmth to your autumn and winter styling.
