A true staple offered by Rototo each summer, the Linen Cotton Socks series is updated with French linen and high-quality organic cotton, while maintaining the same design and manufacturing method as the original. The long-fiber linen used here is produced in Normandy, one of the most renowned regions for this material, and the organic cotton yarn is produced through a unique and abrasion-resistant spinning method called compact spinning. Knitted with a special technique, these socks feature a soft cotton lining and a refreshing linen surface, providing great comfort. The simple design pairs perfectly with any outfit, while a wide range of colors offers great aesthetic flexibility.

ROTOTO socks are manufactured in Japan's largest sock-producing region, Nara Prefecture. The area has been known for its quality textiles since the 17th century. Industrial sock production was first introduced in 1910 when a man from the former village of Umami (now Koryocho) imported a weaving machine from the United States to his hometown after studying abroad.

ROTOTO places great value on collaboration in its product research: "We start by selecting the right yarns with craftsmen to develop the design of a new material. After that, we choose the knitting machines according to the type of material and product usage. This can involve rare machines that have a specific use, old non-computerized knitting machines, or, on the contrary, modern high-tech tools."

ROTOTO socks can only be made by combining the right materials, the right machine, and the craftsman's know-how.

"Preserving the tradition inherited from previous generations, while painting the future with a fresh outlook. We will continue to try to produce things that can only be created here."
