Pop up sock shop

“Beautiful stockings and socks fully fit every outfit.  I usually wear knee high stockings with my skirts and dresses, with shoes as well as boots.

I’m now lucky to have a suitable selection within reach – Aymara have opened a pop up sock shop on the 1st floor of SLOWFASHIONhouse.

Not only are Aymare socks and stockings beautiful, made from a wonderful super soft blend of baby alpaca, silk, nylon and lycra, they are also comfortable because they are manufactured with a hand linked toe.

This very special process sets Aymara socks apart from many other socks. Hand linking is a method of closing the toe seam by pairing together the stitches on either side, then linking them with a single thread to create a uniformly smooth and perfectly flat finish.

The cheaper alternative is to overlock the seam but this often causes discomfort, most noticeably when a perfectly-fitting shoe is worn.

Once you’ve tried hand linked socks, you will never want to return to socks with inside seams. “
