Tabio – socks and drugs and rock and roll!
Okay, maybe not drugs – but certainly socks with a rock and roll attitude!
This time of year my legs start getting cold. Tights are not enough. And trousers are boring. So Tabio is your answer – socks, dayglo tights, and leg warmers to die for.
I particularly liked the angora bed socks and furry leg warmers – something a bit different. Patterned socks aren’t so much my thing, but they have a good selection of those, too, as well as lots of over knee socks, plain, ribbed or even decorated with knitted chevrons and lozenges.
It’s a bright little shop, with the merchandise attractively displayed. I get the impression this is what Sock Shop would be like if it had taste, or Tie Rack if it was better organised and less disparate. It feels bright and modern, yet luxurious.
I did manage to get out with my credit card untouched. But it was a close run thing. And those angora bedsocks might still tempt me back to their website at www.tabio.com.
