Discover 'Floral Collar', part of an exclusive collaboration between Kunstsokken and the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden. This design showcases the magnificent broad collar that Peftjauneith wore on his journey to the afterlife – a symbol of divine protection and eternal life.
Limited Edition – Exclusive Museum Collection
The broad floral collar, called 'wesekh' in ancient Egyptian, was not only placed on the body of the deceased but also painted on sarcophagi as protection for eternity. On the shoulders of this collar, you see two falcon heads – the fasteners that refer to the sun god Horachte or the death god Sokar. Such collars were specially intended for the dead and symbolized the transition to the divine.
Every layer of the collar is carefully knitted: the geometric patterns, the floral motifs in red, blue, and green, and the central red solar disk. These socks bring the refined art of ancient Egypt into your daily life – a wearable piece of history that shows how the Egyptians believed that beauty and art could transcend death.

Hi, we're Tako and Jesse
It started with a simple thought: why does the most beautiful art in the world hang behind glass while we walk around at home in grey socks?
We met at Delft University of Technology. Not art historians — just two friends with the same idea. In 2020 we started out with a living room full of socks and daily trips to the post office. Today our socks are in museum shops across Europe, and every pair is still knitted by the same family workshop in Istanbul that we visit every year.
Not happy with your socks? Then we'll sort it out for you. That's a promise.
Tako & Jesse, founders of Kunstsokken
Anything you still want to know?
Everything you want to know before you order.
How good is the quality?
Our socks are knitted from 80% organic cotton, 100% seamless and with a reinforced heel and toe. The artwork is knitted in, not printed, so the colours don't fade. And if a hole does appear within a year, you get a new pair.
Which size should I choose?
We have two sizes: 36-40 (UK 3.5-6.5) and 41-46 (UK 7-11). In between? Take the larger size. Picked the wrong one? Exchanging is free, within 30 days.
What are the socks made of?
80% organic cotton (GOTS-certified), 15% polyamide and 5% elastane. From November we are replacing the polyamide with recycled polyamide.
How sustainable are Kunstsokken?
Organic cotton without harmful chemicals, and socks that last, so you replace them less often. Our gift packaging is packed by REAKT, a social workshop in the Netherlands.
Where are the socks made?
In Istanbul, Turkey, at a small family business. We visit the workshop every year and know the people who knit our socks. Good working conditions and fair wages are a condition for us.
What does the guarantee cover?
For a full year: if you get a hole, a loose thread or another fault, we send a new pair for free. Email our customer service a photo, that's all it takes.
Can I return or exchange?
Yes, within 30 days, free, whatever the reason. Exchanging for another size or another design is fine too. You arrange it in a few clicks on our returns page.
