History

This Los Angeles-based brand is out to change the fashion landscape below the knee. Founded in 2010, Richer Poorer makes dress socks in bold colors with retro-inspired patterns that will make you want to dump the whole lot of your worn-out solid-colored hosiery. Already a hit with hip men’s retailers like Steven Alan and Bonobos, the chic fashion purveyors recently launched a line of cozy and colorful women’s socks.

Philosophy

Socks are the new must-have accessory. Made of a durable cotton blend, Richer Poorer’s versions are inspired by both classic Americana and fashion trends. From basic stripes to tribal prints, they make socks that pop to spruce up any ensemble.

Richer Poorer’s “Made in the USA” collection, produced in North Carolina, is a patriotic trio of thick cotton socks that are perfect for colder conditions.
