Want to give an elegant gift but afraid of getting the size or his taste wrong? With Individual Socks you can't get it wrong.

The problem with gifts for a man is always the same: almost everything in the lower price range risks looking ordinary, impersonal or already seen. Here, instead, you give a thought built around him.

• A bottle of wine? He finds it on offer 365 days a year.
• A book? Impossible to match his taste.
• A food hamper? It almost looks recycled.
• A gift box? You pick it up at the supermarket till.
• A tech gift? It ends up in a drawer, the wrong gadget or never used.

With clothing and accessories the risk is always size, taste or brand. Not with these socks: you only choose his initials. An elegant, personal gift.

With Individual Socks that risk disappears

Giving a gift no longer has to be a gamble. With these socks every reason to worry disappears, one by one, and all that is left is the certainty of a thought that hits the mark.

• Made for him: personalised with his initials, not a random item you have to guess.
• You can order them at the last minute: we ship within 24-48 hours (delivery then depends on the courier), ready to be given as they are.
• Obsessive, exclusive packaging: packed by hand in Italy, a good impression from the unboxing.
• They never lose their value: whoever receives them will never see them at a reduced price, and will never think of a last-second thought.
• Replaceable if he doesn't like them: 14 days, satisfied or refunded, personalised pairs included.

The result is simple: no risk and a good impression.

Filo di Scozia: fresh and elegant

Filo di Scozia is combed, mercerised cotton, a treatment that makes the yarn stronger, brighter and silky to the touch. The composition is 80% Combed Cotton, 17% Polyamide and 3% Elastane: a stretch fit that follows the foot without squeezing. Light and breathable, they are made for spring and summer.

Every sock is embroidered by our artisans with the chosen initial and then packed by hand in Italy, one at a time, in a recyclable PET jar with an aluminium lid. An object cared for in every detail, from the first stitch to the last.

The colour

The black sock meets a light grey embroidery: discreet and elegant, able to give character without ever shouting. It sits naturally with any shade, from a dark suit to chinos, from a blazer to a jumper: it is the well-mannered detail that works everywhere. A detail that enhances all his summer outfits.
