Single socks design for mixing and matching

Socks are often thrown away because of the matching one being lost or damaged. The URU Design team has designed single socks which can be matched with each other. One Solosocks package contains five or seven colourful single socks – and not pairs. Each sock is different but they are all designed to match each other.
