Description

During the Depression, store brought toys were desirable but unattainable extravagances. Thrifty mothers, accustomed to using a piece of material over & over, refashioned worn socks into various toy creatures for their children to play with. The sock monkey was born.

Each of us is a unique character, we are made by hand and gifted to humans who eventually come to feel that we are a necessary part of their lives. Often, the devotion bestowed on us surpasses that shown to comfort creatures of more commercial origin. Perhaps humans realise that we are individuals just like they are.

Each of us is hand crafted from one pair of cotton socks (new and unworn!). We don’t mind a wash when we are dirty but please make it warm & gentle.
