Product Details

These socks were inspired by the main character in the novel The Little Shop of Found Things by Paula Brackston. Xanthe feels intense connections to antiques, sensing bits of the past in the vintage items. She is drawn to a beautiful silver chatelaine and is transported back to the 17th century upon examining it. While there, she attempts to remedy a huge injustice related to its history. Xanthe‘s Socks are knit from the cuff down and feature a heel flap and gusset.
