Takapara

Takapara is a small Polish sock manufacturer. The idea for Takapara was born over a cup of coffee, with the intention to create something interesting, meaningful, and pleasing to the eye, but above all, something real. Takapara began producing everyday and stylish colorful socks of excellent quality. The high quality of the products can be ensured by making all the socks in the city of Lodz, which has a long history in the textile industry. All Takapara socks are made from high-quality Öko Tex certified yarn.

Colorful socks were born from a passion to create something new

While studying in France, Lukasz started working at an international car parts manufacturing company. From the very first day, however, he knew that one day he wanted to start his own business. The idea, however, took quite a while to develop – ten years. He waited for an idea that would knock his socks off and make him leave the safety of office work for a great adventure. 

Lukasz wanted to do something interesting, something meaningful, something that delights the eyes, but above all, we wanted to do something that would come true. The idea for TAKAPARA was born in 2015 in the Off district of Łódź over a cup of coffee. Quite by accident, Lukasz realized that crazy socks have always been his passion and he understood that this is what he wants to do – colorful socks. Colorful socks are a sign of creativity for something that each of us needs in everyday life. After a year of preparation and gathering start-up capital, the long-awaited moment arrived. In May 2016, TAKAPARA was officially founded – a sock brand that stands out for its exceptionally high quality and classic geometric design, as well as its bold colors.

Since 2016, a lot has changed, Takapara has developed more and more every day, and Lukasz enjoys learning new things and moving his company forward. He sees creating his own brand as a great adventure and wants to keep doing this for a long time. 

Production close by and ecological

Lukasz lives in Lodz, Poland, a city with a rich history in textile production. For Takapara, it is important that manufacturing is ecological and of high quality. Of course, they could produce their products in China or Turkey, because we all like affordable prices... but they don't want to. For Takapara, it is important to preserve the textile industry of Lodz because they value the opportunity to keep production in their home country and, in this way, offer a small share of employment to their hometown. The streets of Lodz have also inspired them to name their different sock models. 

Quality is Takapara's trademark, in addition to colors and patterns. The socks are made from the finest yarn on 200-needle Italian knitting machines, producing colorful and exceptionally high-quality socks. Takapara relies on a carefully developed process, and the employees have the experience and know-how to ensure the socks are perfect and durable.

Colorful socks – for everyone who appreciates quality

One of the core ideas behind the TAKAPARA brand is to bring more life and a new look to a wardrobe staple – socks. Traditionally, socks have been quite dark and the patterns rather dull. With Takapara socks, everyone can play with colors and patterns without limitations. What a brilliant idea it is to add a splash of color to life with a small detail. Every day you can start your day with a little boost and choose the socks that best suit your style. 

Colorful socks are a kind of tribute to world-class artists. The designs draw inspiration not only from art classics, but also from trends in architecture, design, and painting. Lukasz is constantly seeking inspiration from his surroundings and everyday life. He wants to offer his customers the perfect socks that meet the modern gentleman's desire to play with style, without forgetting quality. 

For classic tastes, socks with traditional patterns are a great fit, adding just the right amount of individuality to your outfit. In these socks you'll find classic geometric shapes in bold colors. The designs are inspired by architecture and colorful gardens. You can wear appropriately colorful socks with a suit when the occasion allows.

Socks aren't such a serious matter, so with colorful socks you can really show off your personality. You can wear colorful socks both in summer and winter; in winter outfits, colorful socks are often the only splash of color among dark ensembles. In summer, colorful ankle socks perfectly complete a light summer outfit and work great with loafers and shorts.

In Takapara's selection, you'll also find understated and high-quality merino wool socks. These stylish socks are made from premium yarn and offer luxury for discerning customers who value quality and want to maintain a suitably subtle style. Merino wool socks are lightweight, so they can be worn year-round. Each sock is packed in a stylish box, making these socks an excellent gift idea for men. 

The sock collection not only responds to the latest trends, but also offers endless possibilities to mix patterns and create unique styles.
