Chup - Hygge Crew Sock - Camel

Yet another season, and another round of Chup. They have become our go-to brand for socks due to their incredible construction. The patterns keep them fresh, but to be honest we would buy them if they were black and white.  They've been in the lineup for years now and we're more impressed every time. They hold up to washing and drying extremely well, even though they don't recommend it. That's even more impressive to us. The combed cotton is Made in Japan and carries no impurities. It's also stronger and fluffier than your everyday cotton. The patterns are what sell you upfront, but the quality is what keeps you coming back for life. 

"Hygge" is a defining characteristic in Danish culture meaning a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being. This is reminiscent of the warmth of the fireplace that you feel during a cold winter...an image of people enjoying a book in the sun shining through the cold window as the cool winds blow outside. This socks design comes from the designers' image of a joyful time people spend in their homes during the coldest parts of the year.

Materials: Cotton, acrylic, nylon, polyurethane

Fit Notes: If you've never bought Chup before, they may feel tight when putting them on. They don't have much natural stretch and even in the stretch that is there, they are very sculpted to the foot. They can take a minute to get on in the morning, but that's what we love so much about them. The shape keeps them up on the ankles and fitting without stretching, or wearing out for the years you'll have them.
