Some more great news comes in from our younger (yet more grown-up) brothers at Selectism. “Happy Socks is clearly one of the big breakout brands of the last few years. Their take on the traditional footwear staple placed against a very affordable price point has helped catapult the line in both sales and awareness. While Europe continues to embrace more colorway options in socks, the USA is starting to come around with the help of some big co-brands. For holiday 2009, Happy Socks has works with Barney’s COOP on a set of exclusive colors. Happy Socks are happily displayed in a Globe-Trotter trunk above.”

Many more Happy Socks for Barney’s COOP Holiday Socks can be seen here.
