Tabi socks
Tabi socks are one of Japan's most enduring footwear traditions. Originally worn by samurai, nobles and geisha, these two-toe socks were designed to be paired with zori sandals and geta clogs - the split toe allowing the thong strap to pass through cleanly. Today, tabi have moved well beyond formal wear. Japanese designers have embraced the format, producing contemporary styles in bold graphic prints, seasonal motifs and playful character patterns that work just as well with modern street wear.
Our tabi socks collection brings together 31 styles sourced directly from Japanese manufacturers, covering everything from classic white cotton tabi for kimono and yukata occasions to everyday fashion tabi in cotton blends. Whether you are dressing for a matsuri festival, exploring a Japanese aesthetic in your wardrobe, or simply looking for a sock that stands out, this collection has a style for every intention. Each pair reflects the care and precision that Japanese hosiery makers are known for - particularly those based in the Nara region, long considered the heartland of Japanese sock production.
