Crafted with precision in Japan's Nara Prefecture, these medium-weight socks blend cotton, nylon, and poly for a comfortable fit. Featuring a vibrant checkerboard pattern, they showcase the art of traditional sock-making, rooted in over a century of skilled craftsmanship. Perfect for adding a pop of color to any outfit, these socks promise durability and style. Machine washable for easy care, they represent a harmonious balance of modern design and artisanal skill.
From the brand: Everyone assumes that modern socks are just blasted out by hosiery robots somewhere humid with cheap labor. The truth is that knitting machines are complicated, and required highly skilled labor to run; and that there is a wide spectrum of these machines in use out there.
RoToTo works with factories around the Nara Prefecture and Goryocho village. Sock making began there over 100 years ago with a single machine brought home from the USA. Every one of their socks are careful balance between yarns, machines, and craftspeople. Even the most state-of-the art machines require operators who understands the nuances of the product being made.
