HAPPY SOCKS

Awesome! Happy Socks! Can you imagine?

It started under the cloud-ridden April sky of yet another belayed Swedish spring in 2008. A vision to turn an everyday essential into a colourful design item and spread happiness. A rigid standard of ultimate quality, craftship and creativity. A concept brought to perfection by the Happy Socks collective of creators, most lately spotted in a 400-year-old, shrieking red cottage among cherry trees and berry bushes in a park located in the midst of Stockholm.

Happy Socks are today sold in more than 40 countries across all continents. The collection of socks features an almost endless variety of models and designs, crossing a wide spectrum of colour combinations, materials and textures. Simply put: a pair of high-quality socks for every occasion, mindset and style. Manufactured at a local factory in Turkey.

Making every step forward a mind-breaking, exclusive ride into the future...

Happy Socks quality
All Happy Socks are high quality socks. Since the cotton is combed before being spun into thread, the short fibres fall out, while the stronger and comfier long fibres stay in. The cotton is then woven in Italian knitting machines of the brand Lonati, famous for their high precision. The machines are computer controlled to ensure exact patterns, while the toe seams are sewn by hand to guarantee perfect fit. The hand linked toe seam ensures that there is no bulging overlap at the toe, but a perfectly smooth seam, making the sock fit your foot like a glove.

Happy Socks manufacturing
The socks are manufactured in Turkey, at a family driven factory that has been in the business for more than 30 years. The factory has been controlled to ensure that the working environment is respectful of international labour laws and standards. A team from Happy Socks visits the factory frequently.

Happy Socks washing instructions
All socks can be machine-washed without risk of colour fading. Combed Cottons, Tubes, Cotton Tights and Hemp Socks can be washed in 40 °C / 104 °F. For all other Happy Socks, we recommend a washing temperature of 30 °C / 86 °F.

Avoid bleaching or ironing the socks. Even if our socks are durable, they will last longer if you keep them out of the tumble dryer.

We continuously design new, sharper and better socks. If you want to be sure to get the latest fashion socks first, be sure to visit http://www.happysocks.com on a regular basis.

'Happy' Socks- We believe so much in our product that we choose to have a lame name.

[Ek Kanya]

hahaha... i think no one thinks too much about their socks so this company finally did, hence their socks are happy

[Vikramjit]

U just turned socks into desperate attention seekers. Advertising is so the right profession for u.

[mini15]

Did Ek Kanya turn socks into desperate attention seekers or did the happysocks company do it? what are you trying to say Vikram?

[Vikramjit]

Ek Kanya, with her comment. And possibly the company too, if she's right.

[Ek Kanya]

U just turned socks into desperate attention seekers. Advertising is so the right profession for u.

these socks are not ordinary socks. they are happy, nice looking colourful socks. they deserve a mention because they are different. because someone took the effort to NOT be mundane. Hence my comment and I think they deserve to be talked about.

But your comment makes me feel that you have some negative feelings about advertising. Can you tell us why?

[Ek Kanya]

These ladies build horses out of scrap driftwood they find.....


Not only are they beautiful but they are using what Mother Nature has left behind to create another form of art.
