My client believes life’s too short for boring socks.\n\nThey are a team of colour-loving, texture-obsessed, comfort-driven creators on a mission to make the world’s best socks — the kind that make people smile when they put them on in the morning.\n\nIf you dream in patterns, geek out over yarns, and can spot a Pantone chip from 10 feet away, we want you on our team.\n\nWhat You’ll Do\n\nYou’ll be our in-house textile wizard — designing socks that look amazing, feel incredible, and tell a story with every step.\n\nYour day-to-day might include:\n\n Sketching and developing bold, beautiful, or downright quirky knit patterns.\n\n Building colour palettes that make people say “wow.”\n\n Turning creative concepts into production-ready tech packs that factories can actually knit.\n\n Keeping one eye on fashion and lifestyle trends — and another on what’s next.\n\n Collaborating with designers, product developers, and suppliers to make sure your ideas come to life exactly as you imagined.\n\n Pushing the boundaries of what socks can be — in design, function, and sustainability.\n\nWhat You Bring\n\n A degree in Textile Design, Fashion, Knitwear, or something equally creative.\n\n 2+ years’ experience designing textiles — bonus points if you’ve worked with knits, hosiery, or performance wear.\n\n Strong command of Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and (ideally) textile CAD software\n\n Solid understanding of knitting techniques, yarns, and colour theory.\n\n A killer eye for trends and a unique design voice.\n\n The ability to juggle multiple projects and meet deadlines without losing your sparkle.\n\nWho You Are\n\n You’re a creative thinker who isn’t afraid to take risks.\n\n You’re obsessed with detail (because the toe seam matters).\n\n You love colour, pattern, and good vibes.\n\n You thrive in a collaborative, fast-moving environment.\n\n You believe great design can make people happy — even if it’s “just socks.”\n\nWhat You’ll Get\n\n Competitive salary based on experience.\n\n A supportive team that loves brainstorming, coffee, and the occasional sock pun.\n\n Access to top-notch design tools and trend resources.\n\nReady to knock our socks off?\nSend us your portfolio, CV, and a note about what inspires your designs.\nLet’s make something amazing — one pair at a time
