Karo Socks – Inspired by Ethiopian Body Art | Bold Blue & White African Design
Step into bold tradition with our Karo Socks, a striking blend of minimalist style and rich cultural meaning. Featuring an eye-catching blue and white geometric design, these socks are inspired by the Karo tribe of the Omo Valley in Ethiopia, renowned for their stunning body art traditions.
The Karo are celebrated for their ability to transform their skin into living canvases using white chalk, creating symbolic patterns and ceremonial designs. We've channelled that same expressive energy into a pair of socks that combines heritage, artistry, and modern street style.
🧵 Designed for Comfort and Cultural Expression
More than just a conversation starter, the Karo Socks are built for everyday wear. Crafted from a soft combed cotton blend, they offer a breathable, supportive fit. Whether you're out exploring the city or relaxing at home, the light cushioning and durable weave provide the comfort you need with the statement you want.
