Takapara is a small Polish sock manufacturer. The idea for Takapara was born over a cup of coffee with the intention of creating something interesting, significant, and visually pleasing, 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 manufacturing 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 out of 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 took quite a long time to develop though - ten years. He waited for an idea that would knock his socks off and make him leave his safe office job for a great adventure. 

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

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

Manufactured locally and ecologically

Lukasz lives in Lodz, Poland, a city with a rich history of textile production. For Takapara, it is important that manufacturing is ecological and of high quality. They could of course 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 in the city of Lodz because they value the opportunity to keep production in their home country and thus provide a small part of employment for their hometown. The streets of Lodz have also inspired them to give different sock models names. 

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 procedure, and the employees have the experience and know-how to ensure the socks are perfect and durable.

Colorful socks - for everyone who values quality

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

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

For a classic taste, socks with traditional patterns are an excellent choice, adding just the right amount of individuality to your outfit. In these socks, you'll find classic geometric shapes in bold colors. The design draws inspiration from architecture and vibrant gardens. You can appropriately wear colorful socks with a suit when the occasion allows.

Socks are not such a serious matter, so with colorful socks you can really express your personality. You can wear colorful socks both in summer and winter; in winter outfits, colorful socks are often the only splash of color amidst dark ensembles. In summer, colorful ankle socks perfectly complement a light summer outfit and work great with loafers and shorts.

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

The Sukkakokoelma not only responds to the latest trends but also offers endless possibilities to combine patterns and create unique styles.
