GALLO, a high-end sock brand, was founded in Milan, Italy in 1927. The creative director is Mr. Giuseppe Colombo, who is also the company's CEO. While GALLO is often associated with fashionable items like its signature multi-stripe patterns, it is also highly regarded for its meticulous craftsmanship. In the sock manufacturing process, careful attention is paid to every detail, from the way the yarn is woven and the colors used, to the consistency of the stitching and the finishing of the embroidery. It is said that they conduct nine thorough inspections to meet the high standards set by GALLO. Furthermore, they employ about 80 craftsmen, including sock makers, embroidery artisans, and designers, many of whom are third-generation employees. They maintain high quality by passing down traditional techniques from generation to generation. In Japan, the number of stores carrying the brand has decreased due to rising prices. Prices range from around 4,000 yen to over 8,000 yen per pair. By the way, you won't find the brand name if you search for it here. While striped patterns are somewhat available online, designs with cute illustrations are becoming rare. Sizes range from 25 cm to 28 cm. Please give them a try. Please read the profile before asking any questions. I have other items for sale as well. Thank you for your interest.
