Elefantti ankle socks brighten up everyday life with their cheery sympathetic look. Patterned socks also make doing laundry easier as you can easily spot their pairs. Farewell to the endless sorting of black socks!
These socks represent Finnish design and production from start to finish. They are made of soft, comfortable knitted fabric: 68% organic cotton, 28% polyamide, 4% elastane. The cultivation of organic cotton makes efficient use of rain water and employs organic fertilisers and pesticides. A touch of elastane gives the material nice elasticity.
These socks are made from a blend of 74% GOTS certified organic cotton, 22% polyamide and 4% elastane. Intended for daily use, these socks make life easier because patterned socks are easy to pair up when you’re folding your clean laundry. You won’t have to spend all night sorting black socks under the brightest light you have at home.
The pack contains two pairs of Elefantti socks: one black-and-white and one brown-and-black. The socks are finished with ribbed cuffs. Note! The patterns are not aligned, so each product is unique. You can choose from two sizes: 40–42 and 43–45.
Ordinary daily life defines much of our existence. Part of good daily life is having clothes that make life as enjoyable as possible. The cornerstones of the Arkismi collection are Finnish design, timelessness of clothing and sustainable materials and production. The aim is for the garment to be versatile and easy to combine. It’s also important that the item feels nice against the skin and body. Most of the patterns we use are familiar Finlayson favourites, but we also introduce something new and exciting every season, possible classics of the future.
The Arkismi collection was designed by the Finlayson team and Finnish everyday life. The clothes are sized to fit as many body types of all shapes and sizes as possible.
Story of the Elefantti pattern: Created by Laina Koskela in 1969, this pattern is the result of a design competition organised by Finlayson and the Helsinki Industrial Arts School. The idea for the pattern was born at the last minute, under pressure. Laina's mum had sewn a home-made stuffed toy for her brother. The toy had four legs, a trunk and hanging ears. With this toy in mind, Laina began to work on her idea of the design.
The Elefantti print fabric came to the market in Sweden in 1970, in Finland a couple of years later. The Elefantti pattern was then forgotten until 2013, when Finlayson took it back into production.
The Elefantti is one of Finlayson’s most beloved classics, both sympathetic and stylish. The recipe for the success of the charming Elefantti can be summed up in handmade lines, simplicity, universality, positivity and timelessness.
