By Sima Mpahla Our pick of the week has to be the returning ' Transport sock'. South Africans, especially Capetonians, understand this sock was inspired by our 'not-so' reliable transport system. I'm not writing this post to highlight the inefficiencies of our transport system....that is reserved for the newspapers. FEAT. sock co. is in the business of designing playful, fun and storytelling designer socks. This particular pair evokes the rich stories of South Africans who use public transport on a daily basis, and I'm one of them. Lets start with the taxi: THE TAXI Who can forget the ever-impatient taxi-drivers who bend every rule of the road to get us to work early and maximise profit at the same time?...
We are happy to announce that FEAT. sock co. is now stocking another amazing store. You can now find our fun-loving socks in 'Hello Tuck' in Riebeek Kasteel, Western Cape, one of the oldest towns in South Africa.

They have a wide range of beautiful collections from books, wallpapers and photographic prints and they try to make sure that everything in store is unique.

We know we've been a little quiet lately, but we've been waiting on our new, bright and funky sock designs so that we can reveal them with a BANG! We had so much fun with colourful paper cut-outs when shooting the range with local photographer Roxanne Lindenberg. Roxanne is from Pretoria and has recently moved to Cape Town, which makes us super happy because that we get to work with her. Yay! Not only did we have fun shooting the range, but designing it was exciting too. Turquoise scaly fish socks, yellow elephant socks, colourful farm scene socks and multi-coloured surfing socks are some of the things that are making our creative juices fizz this season and we really enjoyed collaborating with Johannesburg based...

So, it's been far too long since we posted our 'sock of the week'...the silly season is around the corner so taking the time to sit down and write has been a far off dream. So little time, so much to do! But I have some time this Friday, so I thought I would post about the cutest little dream socks that we have just released! Our baby socks. Can you believe the cuteness? These baby socks come in navy with red and white sail boats and a blue and pink sock with little white puffy clouds. All the of our socks are made in Cape Town, South Africa. And the plus of these little cuties is that they're made...
