Socks at 860€ a pair!

When it comes to luxury goods, you very rarely think of socks ... and yet! The German brand FALKE socks, famous for their town socks and knee-socks in Scottish lisle thread, has launched a pair of socks for ... €860! 

These socks are made neither of gold thread nor of powdered diamonds but of vicuña wool. For your general knowledge, the vicuña is an animal that lives in open prairies in the Andes, between 3500 and 6000 meters above sea level. 

This animal spends its day feeding, and does not use any shelter. Its soft, warm fur is very famous for making luxurious clothes. Vicuña wool is very rare, and its price is exorbitant.

So if you want to give someone socks with a unique history and a very special comfort, visit the website of the FALKE brand. If you can’t imagine spending €860 on pleasantly warm socks for your feet or someone else’s feet, we can help you choose cashmere socks, wool socks or shetland socks instead!
