Why made in Nara, Japan?

Nara is the only “Sock City ” in the world. It has been quietly perfecting the art of socks for over 100 years.

Currently, there are over 200 sock factories in Koryo-city, Nara. Each factory and its artisan have their own expertise. For example, one of the factories specializes in knitting ribbed socks, while another is known for making high quality, 5 toe socks.

Nara socks are the result of a painstaking, time-consuming process combined with the technical skills of the artisans. There are 15 steps of sock creation. Through each step, the artisan is committed to perfecting every detail with his entire heart and soul.

Our Story

Maarlie Wada moved to the U.S. from Japan in 2001 and brought her eye for style along with her. She always received compliments and questions from her friends, who asked where she got her socks from.

The idea to bring Japanese fashion to America didn’t cross Maarlie's mind until she toured an LA fashion magazine company in 2006 — and that was when Tabbisocks came to life

Tabbisocks weaves Japanese craftsmanship from the East with big personality from the West. Each sock is made with love in Nara, a city steeped in tradition and “advanced sock culture.”

In Japan, socks are a way of life. Taking off your shoes is the norm in Japan, and it gives you plenty of opportunities to reveal your true style. Your socks show who you are: loud and proud, subtle and sweet, or perfectly weird.

There are so many to choose from: socks for sandals, sneakers, and leg warmers to lounge around in the home. We hope you wear our socks proudly and show your true self.

Live your own color!
