[Re Loop] A brand of the long-established sock factory "SOUKI" in Nara. The brand was born with the mission of using materials that are friendly to people and the environment, and passing on the techniques and knowledge that have been passed down from generation to generation to the next generation. They are made with a spinning method that has its roots in techniques that have been used since the Meiji and Taisho eras. Threads are spun using fiber raw materials that are discarded without being used, lint generated at spinning and weaving factories, and raw materials that have been collected and loosened. These anklet socks are made from recycled Japanese paper thread made from the lees of Yoshino Kuzu, a specialty product of Nara Prefecture. So unique! And the "Re Loop" socks, which are carefully knitted with a rare knitting machine using such recycled yarn, are a little special. It is the perfect companion for everyday wear.

[SOUKI] A sock factory founded in 1927 in Koryo-cho, Nara Prefecture, a sock production area. Since its founding, we have maintained the belief that "good quality is a matter of course, and we want to make socks that feel really good in our daily lives." While cherishing the technology and evolution unique to a long-established store that has been handed down for nearly 90 years, each item is carefully made from the selection of materials to the finish.

"Since it's something you wear every day, it's good if you choose high-quality socks because you can use them for a long time with attachment."SOUKI socks have many fans who think like that. Of course Fu, the owner of Foods Note, is one of them. I have been using [SOUKI] socks for a long time.

[Social Good! ... things and events that have a positive impact on the global environment and society] LOVE Local, LOVE Story ... love the stories behind your hometown, local industries, and things. Nara Prefecture has many famous products (traditional crafts, local products, etc.), but socks are one of the famous local products that are deeply connected to the region and people's lives. According to a back issue of "Kenmin Dayori"... at the end of the Meiji period, people from what is now Koryo-cho brought back a sock-making machine from America and started making socks as a side job to their farming. Nara Prefecture has a small amount of farmland, so people had no choice but to do a side job, and it was conveniently close to Osaka, where textile wholesalers are concentrated, and they were one of the first to adopt nylon thread, so sock making became popular. As the owner of Food's Note, Fu, who is from and lives in Nara, I would like to spread the word that "socks are Nara" so that local industries will continue in the future. These anklet socks are made using a variety of recycled yarns, including recycled washi paper yarn made from the lees of Yoshino Kudzu, a specialty of Nara Prefecture, which is also Social Good! Fun.
