Big restock of Japanese tabi socks in the Grumpy space at Red Brick Market Birmingham!

We source all our sockies directly from the manufacturers in Japan so we get the first pick of their new season's designs.

We love that many of you are like us and now wear tabi socks regularly under whatever footwear. They are so comfy and are renowned for keeping toes cosy as well as aiding circulation.

Come and add a few pairs to your tabi collection!

If you can't get to Red Brick in person, they are also available in our Etsy shop online (see bio)

🐾🐱🥢 CUDDLY CAT CHOPSTICKS 🥢🐱🐾

Cool, cute and utterly adorable, choose the one you love the best or collect all six!

These chopsticks are not only beautiful, they are made using the 400 year old traditional Wakasa-nuri lacquer technique, which gives the gorgeous little paw prints their lustre and depth. You can hold true Japanese craftsmanship in your hand!

You have probably also spotted the 'cuddly cat' chopstick rests which make these sets so special.

Available now online (link in bio) and in person at

We import directly from Japan to bring you the best lifestyle goods at a reasonable price 🐾
