Inspiration behind the design: Bees are fascinating little creatures and I love watching them! My mum has kept bees for years and this piece is inspired by those little critters living at the bottom of her garden in Wexford. They have often featured in my paintings and the idea of seeing them on my feet too has me buzzing!

Irish Socksciety are best friends Alex and Joanna who love all that is quirky and humorous about contemporary Ireland. These pals feel that feet have lots to say, and to help them talk, they design their colourful and funny socks in Galway, on the west coast of Ireland, in the middle of the beautiful Wild Atlantic Way. The conversations in Ireland and the turn of phrase has inspired this company from day one with their witty take on Irish society and the way in which we connect with each other. Now a range of beanie hats are adding more to the chat.
