Big Issue North, in partnership with Manchester artist Stanley Chow and sock specialists Stand4Socks, has announced the release of a limited-edition series of cozy and festive socks with a charitable twist. The collection will be available from Wednesday 30 October, 2024.
The exclusive designs, created by Stanley Chow, will not only keep you warm and stylish, but also support those in need across the north of England. Each purchase directly contributes to Big Issue North’s mission of empowering people experiencing poverty to earn an income, gain stability, and transform their lives.
This year’s collection features two new designs by Stanley Chow, known for his iconic illustrations and collaborations with The White Stripes and The New York Times. The designs, including a graphic, minimalist pixel design and a Christmas Elf design, embody Chow’s signature style and make each pair a wearable piece of art.
Speaking about the collaboration, Chow said, “I got the chance to design the pair of socks I’ve always wanted to wear and selling them will help raise money for a charity that I wholeheartedly support. What’s not to like about that?!”
The socks are priced at £12.99 per pair or £29.99 for all three designs, with 100% of profits going directly to Big Issue North. This means that every purchase helps support people in the North West, Yorkshire and the Humber who are working by selling the Big Issue magazine, providing them with opportunities to earn income, develop skills, and gain independence.
Stand4Socks, a Manchester-based company, is known for their high-quality, personalised socks. Their ethos is centered on giving back, and for each pair of charity socks sold, Stand4Socks donates a durable, antibacterial pair of socks to someone experiencing homelessness. Since their inception, Stand4Socks have donated over 150,000 socks, ensuring that comfort and warmth reach those who need it most.
By choosing to purchase a pair of Big Issue North’s socks, customers not only support Big Issue North vendors, but also help someone who is homeless to keep warm this winter.
The limited-edition Stanley Chow designs are only available for a short time, so don’t miss your chance to support your Big Issue North vendor and help people experiencing homelessness this Christmas. The collection is available now on the Big Issue North x Stand4Socks Collaboration website.
