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 in western Japan meaning "warm," and true to its gentle sound, you'll be enveloped in a soft warmth from the moment you put them on.
The material is a two-ply yarn of merino wool and organic cotton.
This fabric, combining the warmth of wool and the softness of cotton, is moist and thick yet lightweight, gently conforming to your skin.
Even after wearing them all day, your toes stay subtly warm, yet they are comfortable and resistant to stuffiness.
You can spend your mornings, when you're concerned about the cold, and your relaxing evenings comfortably.
The ankle area features thick ribbing, stretching softly for a snug fit.
They provide warmth as if you've layered leg warmers over socks, thoroughly protecting your easily chilled ankles.
From heel to toe, the socks are made of plump pile fabric, which softens the cold from the floor, making them comfortable enough to wear without slippers.
Brown
Available in three colors: beige, brown, and charcoal gray.
Brown evokes a sunny warmth.
Its calm hue blends into any room, exuding a simple, warm ambiance.
It's a color that quietly accompanies you on a relaxed weekend with a cup of coffee.
Charcoal Gray
Available in three colors: beige, brown, and charcoal gray.
Deep charcoal gray offers a calm appearance.
The thick ribbing gently fits the ankle, thoroughly enveloping cold feet on chilly mornings.
Its elegant tone blends well even when going out, making it a pair you'll want to make a winter staple.
Beige
The soft hue of beige gives a gentle impression, both visually and in wearing comfort.
The plump fabric envelops the entire foot, warming even your spirit amidst the cold morning air.
Perfect for relaxing at home.
Available in two sizes: S (22-24cm) / M (25-27cm).
It's lovely to get matching pairs in different colors with your spouse or partner.
Thanks to the washable finish, they can be easily cared for in your home washing machine.
They resist losing shape even after many washes, with almost no pilling.
Their beautiful texture and soft feel will last a long time.
These socks will gently warm your daily life from your feet up.
They are very comfortable to wear and would make a great gift for loved ones.
May you find cozy warmth and spend the cold season gently and lightly.
