Swedish artists Bengt Lindberg and Lotta Glave designed these socks, bringing Scandinavian folk art to an everyday essential. Two columns of shorebirds run down a black merino wool sock: white birds along the front and taupe birds with orange markings along the side, a nod to the birds of Sweden’s coastline. Bengt & Lotta met as students of graphic art and illustration at university. Since then their patterns of animals, birds, flowers and folk figures have found fans around the world, and their work is held at the Nordiska museet in Stockholm, Kulturen in Lund and the glass museum in Växjö.

CAI makes the socks in Sweden. It’s a family-owned sock maker that has been knitting socks since 1946. The merino blend is naturally warm, soft and breathable, so the socks are comfortable all year.
