The Wick Culture - Heattech socks by Uniqlo x Anya Hindmarch

Object Heattech socks by Anya Hindmarch x Uniqlo

£7.90

We love a designer high street collab at The Wick, and the latest to attract our attention is this capsule collection by Anya Hindmarch for Uniqlo. Riffing on the collection’s title ‘An Eye for Curiosity’ – which is really our vibe – these playful socks feature a quirky embroidered round-eye detail. The rest is the usual heatteach high performance quality you’d expect, with Heat of Absorption technology, a great base layer for the mountains. We’ll be packing a pair in every colourway (there’s four available).
