Andreas Schreiber of 'Evoke Socks' has just released a line of awareness socks that combines eccentric sock fashion with social issue awareness. Each sock produced represents an important cause or charity.
The socks are made with 80% cashmere and express exciting colors with different design patterns. They are both aesthetically attractive and informative. The fun styles are a great conversation starter that will ultimately end up in increasing the awareness of whatever social issue is being addressed by the socks.
Representing causes from the Peruvian rain forests, the need for clean water in developing countries, food banks and sexual violence, Evoke Socks brings its passion for progress and love for men's fashion to another level.
