Los Angeles-based artist-turned-designer Hannah Byun created Hansel from Basel in 2007 as a way to apply a sense of much-needed zest to everyday socks. Originally inspired by Hannah’s childhood nickname (“Hansel”) and her fascination with Switzerland (therefore “from Basel”), the collection is forever finding inspiration in every nook and cranny of life, from the mundane to the magical. A great deal of attention, care and most of all, pride, make their spirited socks not only feel so very special, but encourage us to always continue evolving.
