Often customers will ask us which socks from our range are our favourites. What a tricky question! Our socks are like our babies, and favouritism is cruel, right?! So, we decided to post a 'sock of the week', every week. We still feel it's cruel, but hopefully less so. This week, we're loving our new Carbs socks. This design is a bit like a protest piece. Covering a pair of socks in carbohydrates is our way of saying NO to this banting craze that's going around. Other names for this sock include: The Anti-Banting sock, and The No-No-Noakes sock. Many South African's will have heard of local scientist and professor, Tim Noakes, who has endorsed this high-fat and protein (banting) diet...

A true story written by Gina van der Ploeg Anyone who has ever been to India before the monsoon season knows how relentless and soul destroying those few weeks can be. The sun beats down; shade provides no reprieve and clay bricks radiate intolerable heat into any room. We were one week into our nine months of backpacking and my friend Jem and I were already homesick. Who would have thought that all we needed was a Mumbai-bound trip on the Suryanagari Express, saving us from the...

Some mornings I wake up with a particular kind of curiosity. Today, the heaviness lifts from my eyelids as narrow streams of light peep through the slit in my curtains and fall across my face...and I realise that this is such a morning. As I slowly draw my duvet across my sleepy legs, the crisp air meets my skin and turns it to goose flesh. I lift my limbs up in the air, admiring my feet as I point, flex and circle them round and round. I drop them back down onto the mattress with a bounce. WAKE UP! LET'S GO!
