Medway socks_William Morris🄬

William Morris is a pioneer of arts and crafts who represents Britain and still has many enthusiastic fans today.

We have created socks that add a HOiSUM-like twist to William Morris's famous natural paintings, including works from his "River" series named after tributaries of the River Thames in the UK.

In the summer of 1880, Morris was fascinated by the River Thames and took a boat trip with his wife Jane and some friends from their home in Hammersmith to Lechlade, near Kelmscott Manor.

From 1883 onwards, he produced a series of works named after tributaries of the Thames.
"Medway" is one of the river series.
This work is one of several named after tributaries of the Thames, such as the River Lee, which flows through Walthamstow, where Morris was born, the River Cray, which flows around Red House, and the River Medway, which flows further east.

This pattern, like the Wondol, is characterised by its streamlined design.

This pair of shoes features a refreshing design with an original HOiSUM twist.
