The Sock Saga: A Brief History

Way back in ancient times, socks were not just foot coverings, but also a means of communication.

It was a time of sock-based hieroglyphics, where the color and pattern of your socks told the world about your status in life.

Red socks signified power and wealth, while green socks were for the rebels and the misfits.

But little did we know, the invention of the washing machine would soon change the course of sock history forever.

The Sock Revolution would soon follow, and with it, the dawn of the modern sock as we know it today.
