About Us
For art and fashion lovers looking for high-quality and fashionable textiles, MuseARTa offers the largest and most complete collection of socks with artwork as a motif. We want to bring art, color, and history into your wardrobe in a practical way and make your sock box unique. The joy of art is our top priority!
Our difference:
We are proud to produce exclusively in Europe, specifically in Italy and Istanbul. All production facilities are family-run businesses, and we visit them several times a year. They are all BSCII certified and pay fair wages. This is extremely important to us. During our visits, we don't just sit in meeting rooms; we talk to the employees who are proud to work on this project.
We even inspect the printing companies for the sock labels and the yarn suppliers because we want to know where all the components of our product come from.
Our production utilizes state-of-the-art machinery because we are committed to innovation and invest in the latest technologies. We work with 200-needle machines that knit the designs directly into each sock, optimizing the results by offering greater detail in every design. This ensures our customers receive socks with long-lasting color.
Furthermore, our socks are hand-linked. What does that mean? After knitting, the toe of the sock is open and needs to be closed. With inexpensive products, this is done with a sewing machine. With high-quality products, the seam is linked by hand. This process is very labor-intensive and costly, and difficult to describe. Imagine a circularly knitted sock with 200 stitches, laid flat. Now, a stitch from the top, then a stitch from the bottom, then another from the top, then another from the bottom, and so on, is joined together with a thread so that the stitches interlock and form a completely smooth surface. In the end, there is no uncomfortable seam, which significantly increases wearing comfort.
All our socks are made from a material composition of approximately 80% cotton, 18% polyamide, and 2% elastane. The exact composition depends on the design. We always aim for a high cotton content. We strive to offer our customers high-quality and durable socks and reject fast fashion, as we want our collections to continue to grow and customers to be able to collect our socks and other items.
One very important point to conclude: we have entered into numerous licensing agreements with rights holders and pay substantial licensing fees, whether with museums, artists or their heirs, or for the use of photographic rights. This helps the museums and artists.
