CHUP Japanese Socks (giveaway)




Foot-based fashion took a great (ahem) leap forward in 2009, when Tokyo clothing company Glen Clyde launched CHUP: a range of knitted socks with patterns inspired by everything from old Nordic sweaters to Native American rugs, Fair Isle Scottish knitting and traditional Guatemalan textiles. Rumour has it their knits are so complex, the company’s vintage sock machines can only produce a few dozen pairs a day.

Respect for indigenous culture is woven tightly into the brand: the name CHUP, which stands for ‘Classical Human’s Universal Peace’, and its logo reference the sun, the moon, and the stars, as worshipped by Japan’s indigenous Ainu people.

Priced between $35 and $45, CHUP might cost a bit more than your average tube sock, but they’ll keep your feet that much warmer. Which, when we’re this side of winter, is all we really need to hear.

Thanks to Glen Clyde, we have a few pairs to give away. To enter, fill out this form with your details, including preferred size.
