Colour, Craft, and Collaboration: Inside the Irish Socksciety x Jill&Gill Launch
Galway-based Irish Socksciety has teamed up with Jill & Gill to create socks inspired by the west of Ireland.

What happens when two icons of Irish design join forces? Magic, of course. Celebrating craft, creativity, and the spirit of the west of Ireland, the new Irish Socksciety x Jill & Gill collaboration is the latest instalment in the brand’s annual competition, which invites artists to dream up their most imaginative sock designs.

Big on energy and strong on colour, each piece is designed to stand out – and the latest iteration is no different. In true Jill&Gill fashion, the winning style pairs bold shapes with vivid hues, inspiring the wearer to inject a little more playfulness into their wardrobes.

Founded by Jill Deering and Gillian Henderson, the brand has been around since 2016, when the duo began working on a commission piece together. Almost a decade later, and they’ve done everything from face masks to art prints for Catherine Connolly’s Presidential campaign.  

Speaking of the exciting launch, Alex and Joanna of Irish Socksciety said, “We've been loving Jill&Gill’s work for years now. Based in Dublin, the duo stands out for breaking barriers and their endless imagination. We share values, drive and energy to live life to the fullest, and these socks are a platform to transfer that joy to the world.”

Retailing for €9.90, the new Jill&Gill socks are available to purchase on the Irish Socksciety website now.
