Best Friends
The ‘Best Friends’ socks are the third pattern in our Platinum Collection for 2019, available free to Gold & Platinum Bakery Bear Patrons. These cosy socks feature a sumptuous cable and lace design representing the close bond between best friends.
They were inspired by our daughters love for her precious giraffe ‘Goffy’. Since the day she was given ‘Goffy’ they are always side by side, just like the eyelets in the pattern. The cables twist together, representing the bond between girl and giraffe.
