I bought these as a gift for my wife. She loves NYC history and reclaimed/sustainable pieces, so these were a perfect fit. They're beautiful and match a lot of different styles.
I got these as a gift based on my intentions for Christmas gifts this year: handmade or unique items that are eco-friendly, or different and have a vibe of mindfulness and presence, see the beauty of going within for winter or to inspire recipients to make things with their hands. I think these socks fit that intention with their fun details and story on how they are made.
