Launching today at @FREEPEOPLE! Frankie is not excited about this..Wandawega MUK LUKS Camp socks, from Wisco.Weve been working on this forever & never thought wed get this excited about socks. It started with finding a vintage pair & our inability to find the same retro patterns anywhere - then tracing them back to their birthplace. (Of course, we mean the birthplace of the 20th century brand, not the birthplace of the original boots they were inspired by. That original birthplace would be somewhere in the Arctic, courtesy of the wonderful Inuit, Iupiat, or Yupik peoples. But you know what we mean : ) So began an obsession that would take us to the Muk Luk Museum in Princetonto the family who founded them to the archives of patterns in Milwaukee. 2 yrs later, theyre here!A Short Story of Muk Luks:1 9 1 1 : RELIABLE KNITTING WORKS, A FAMILY- RUN BUSINESS, FORMED IN MILWAUKEE.1 9 3 9 : MARTHA HIESTAND OF PRINCETON, WI BEGAN KNITTING MUK LUK SOCKS WITH SOLES FOR HER FAMILY.
