With the most appropriate product for the unpredictable nature of spring-time weather, Sweet Marcel ankle socks keep toes just the right amount of toasty on days that aren't warm enough to sport bare feet, but not quite cold enough for anything too thick.
Designed by Amy Anderson, each pair is hand designed to be representative of somewhere that she has traveled, and they are each named after someone or something that has been influential to the designer. The Catharine Wheel pair, for example, is named after both the torture device from the middle ages and the present-day pinwheel toy for children.
The design palette for each pair features bright and funky designs with a feminine ruffle along the top that just grazes the ankle. Many of the items are stitched from locally milled cotton from a family farm.
