kontex "Nukui Socks"
Every year around this time, I feel like getting new warm socks.
Perfect for this season are the "Nukui Socks" from Imabari brand, kontex.
"Nukui" is a dialect word in Western Japan meaning "warm," and just as its gentle sound suggests, you'll be enveloped in fluffy warmth from the moment you put them on.
The material is a double yarn of merino wool and organic cotton.
Combining the warmth of wool with the softness of cotton, this fabric is richly thick yet light, gently conforming to your skin.
Even after wearing them all day, your toes stay warm and comfortable, without getting stuffy.
You can spend chilly mornings and relaxing evenings comfortably.
The ankle area features thick ribbing that stretches softly for a comfortable fit.
It feels as warm as wearing leg warmers over socks, protecting your easily chilled ankles.
From heel to toe, it's made of fluffy pile, which softens the cold from the floor, so you can even go without slippers.

Beige
Available in three colors: beige, brown, and charcoal gray.
The soft beige gives a gentle impression, both in appearance and feel.
The fluffy fabric wraps around your entire foot, warming your heart even in the cold morning air.
Perfect for relaxing at home.

Charcoal Gray
Available in three colors: beige, brown, and charcoal gray.
The deep charcoal gray has a calm presence.
The thick ribbing gently fits your ankles, securely warming your feet on chilly mornings.
An elegant tone that blends in even when you go out, making them a winter staple you'll want to keep.

Brown
Brown evokes a sunlit warmth.
Its calm hue blends with any room, exuding a simple, warm atmosphere.
It’s a shade that gently accompanies you on a relaxed holiday, coffee in hand.
Available in two sizes: S (22-24cm) / M (25-27cm).
It would be lovely to get different colors for you and your spouse or partner.
They are washable, so you can easily care for them in your home washing machine.
They resist losing their shape even after many washes, and pilling is minimal.
Their beautiful texture and soft feel will last a long time.
They are a pair that will gently warm your daily life from your feet up.
They are very comfortable to wear, and would make a wonderful gift for someone special.
May you find cozy warmth and spend the cold season gently and lightly.
