Sappho Of Lesbos Socks

Twenty-six centuries of yearning, finally with a cushioned bottom.

Sappho Of Lesbos Socks put one of queer women's most enduring cultural ancestors directly into the outfit. The classical portrait nods to the archaic Greek poet from the island of Lesbos whose surviving lyric poetry became so bound up with desire between women that both 'sapphic' and, through Lesbos, 'lesbian' now carry her linguistic shadow. History class, but make it extremely gay and wearable.

These Sappho socks are made for lesbians, sapphics, poetry nerds and anyone who has ever turned longing into a full artistic practice. Pair them with loafers for bookshop intellectual, boots for dyke-bar antiquity, or trainers for the very specific thrill of carrying ancient queer literary history through a supermarket. A lesbian history gift with considerably more personality than another inspirational quotation mug.
