How it all began...
My Story
Hi there! I see that you have landed on the about me page, meaning you are probably wanting to know a little more about my story.
I come from a background in Industrial Design. I've always wanted to start my own business journey in the design field, but never had an idea that sparked my interest.
Until one night......
Me, my gf and my flatmates were having dinner at home, Karaage chicken to be more specific. I had a Kewpie Mayo right in front of me, and I had an idea came to mind. "Wouldn't it be cool if there was Kewpie Mayonnaise socks? I would so wear it, I think many people would love it too"
The idea further established from there, more design ideas came to mind through discussions with my partner and friends. Boba, Ramen, Sushi, Sriracha and Soju, all of which we all (including you) deeply love.
Your now thinking, but where are the Kewpie socks? Don't worry guys, it is coming. I just couldn't make it look cute enough to bring to market. But it is coming, so stay tuned!
So that's how it all started!
These socks are designed for you or that person in your life who doesn’t like to be too formal. They want to have fun when dressing up whether it be in their 9-5 job, on the weekends or that special event.
Would love to see you wearing my socks.

Let customers speak for us
from 717 reviewsI’ve now bought four slippers from Shin. The designs are amazing and the quality just as good. It’s great to see such fun and original products.
The quality and designs of the products are amazing! I can’t recommend enough! I’ll be buying more from here!
Was a lovely gift for a matcha obsessed girl!
Such amazing comfortable soft slippers and the socks are so cute :)

I've been purchasing off Shin, well probably since he first started, and it's always been such an easy transaction, delivery is quick and the products are the cutest ever. So soft and fluffy and i especially love the matching socks. I have every single pair of slippers and socks and will keep adding to my collection haha.
Excellent product and was delivered really quick, thanku x
super happy with my boba slippers. they're squishy and fluffy and the quality is great!
Great product and great service.
I've bought from Shin on two separate occasions, and their socks are cute and comfortable. I enjoyed my first purchase so much that I returned later buying even more socks for myself and for gifts for others. They arrived on time and as advertised. They feature regularly in my rotation of socks throughout the week. They've been good talking points too when others have noticed the design.
Made an order over the busy Xmas period, and my order sent out extremely quick :) . Unfortunately AusPost let us down by losing the parcel.
Not to worry, Shin was excellent at following up and correcting the situation. I was kept well informed and my order was resent. Very happy customer!
What a legend!
I purchased 3 pairs, 2 being gifts.
They arrived and noted one pair had some issues, I reached out to Shin, responded straight away and immediately rectified the issue.
Love the professionalism.
Have to support small businesses.
Cheers Shin.
The quality and comfort of the socks and slippers are unbeatable! The designs are also super cute. 100% recommend as a gift (or even something cozy for yourself).
Shin responded really quickly and provided quality slippers. Designs were exactly like the website photos.
I love the pair so much. I bought it as a gift and ended up getting another pair because its so fluffy and warm, can be used both indoor and outdoor
