GENEVIEVE SWEENEY SELINA SPARKLY SOCKS IN RED

A combination of striking chevron-stripe detailing and all-over lustrous sparkle makes our Selina sock a go-to for elevating day-to-day looks. It not only offers an innovative new twist on the traditional hand intarsia process, but Genevieve’s hallmark attention to detail ensures lasting comfort and softness – perfect for a little everyday luxury.

THE YARN 
To ensure that the Selina offers a glittering finish without compromising on comfort, Genevieve works with a premium viscose blend. Unlike other sparkly socks, it feels incredibly soft and smooth against the skin, while nylon plating helps the yarn recover well after washing; guaranteeing lasting comfort and stretch. A sprinkling of grey silk tweeds stylishly offset the rich burgundy red hue, while bright turquoise detailing injects a fun finish.

THE DETAILS 
Not only does the Selina provide exceptional comfort with its soft yarn and seamless construction, but the complexity of its contrast-colour design should not be overlooked. Creating this pattern is a highly complicated technique that not only challenges traditional intarsia machines, but – in true reflection of Genevieve’s slow fashion values – also takes a long time.

SUSTAINABILITY CREDENTIALS 
With the Selina sock, Genevieve continues to demonstrate her dedication to sustainability and slow, considered fashion. Rather than sourcing her production overseas, she works closely with a family-run, Derbyshire-based mill that manufactures in small batches to reduce waste. The Selina’s signature intarsia design is crafted using a traditional machine-led method coupled with a hand-finishing technique that truly embraces the joy and beauty of artisan craft.

STYLE ADVICE 
Designed to a shorter style that sits right on the ankle, the Selina pairs perfectly with off-duty daytime looks – let it add an unexpectedly glamorous edge to faithful flats or trainers.
