Ca’ Pesaro Socks
This is the third pattern of the series ‘Socks from the Grand Canal’. The collection is inspired by the most beautiful buildings facing the Grand Canal in Venice and are proudly standing in all their glory as testament of the Most Serene of the Republics (La Serenissima Repubblica). The stranded colourwork on this design would remind the beautiful window lodge that decorates the facade of Ca’ Pesaro Palace.
