While there are many socks that are simply presented to consumers with ultra-utilitarian hang tags, Luckies of London created fun packaging for socks to appropriately spotlight the vibrant spirit of 'Socktails.'
Previously, Luckies of London has introduced Beer Socks, Ice Cream Socks and Soup Socks—both of which boast playful food-themed packaging designs and patterns—and now it is venturing into the creation of a beverage-inspired range. The brightly colored Socktails boast bold gradient colorways in varieties that pay tribute to classic cocktails like the Mojito, Tequila Sunrise and Cosmopolitan.
As part of the design process, Luckies of London considered creating packaging for the socks that corresponded with different drinking glass types but settled on a more practical boxed solution that simply references iconic glassware.
