Stride into the space where urban flair and nature’s indomitable spirit meet with this appealing pair. More than an accessory, they’re a fusion of the cool grey tones of cityscapes and the vibrant, energetic greens of park life.

Lynne Rowe’s top-down socks mirror the journey they represent; the colour narrative starts with gardens and moves on to city architecture, exploring nature’s presence within the concrete jungle. The practicality supplied by the eye of partridge heel resembles the resilience of plants and animals that adapt to our urban terrain. A design that assimilates the symbiotic relationship between fashion, city and nature.
