The idea came from a simple observation: children often take friendship literally—"we hold hands.» In the «Fruit Friendship» concept, fruit characters meet and hold hands when their juices mix. I wanted to translate this gesture into a tangible object that people could wear. This led to the creation of socks with attached magnetic arms: put them on—and the fruit friends connect, as if holding hands. These aren’t just warm socks; they are a small symbol of friendship that you can take with you, give as a gift, or wear with a friend.

Construction Features:
The handles are sewn onto the side of the sock at the ankle level.
Each handle contains a pocket with a magnet inside.
The magnets are detachable—you can remove them before washing.
The handles are soft and do not interfere while walking.
The socks are knitted on a circular knitting machine using a cotton yarn with elastane, and then undergo wet heat treatment. The handles are cut from soft fleece, an internal pocket for a neodymium magnet is sewn in, and the edges are finished with a flat seam. The handles are attached to the side of the sock using an elastic seam, and the magnets are inserted and secured into the pockets. The finished socks are folded so that the handles meet, and packaged with an insert and instructions.
