There always seems to be something oddly ‘wintery’ about the look of traditional Matryoshka Russian nesting dolls, so it’s appropriate that these Falke Cotton Matryoshka Russian Doll Socks are released for the brand’s ‘Seasons’ range.The charming pattern of doll motifs and fair isle-style banding runs around the ankles of a fine quality cotton rich knit that is appropriate for most kinds of footwear – not too thick, not too light, but beautifully soft and smooth.BTW, did you know ‘Matryoshka’ means ‘Little Matron’, because the dolls represent a family, with the outermost doll the mother figure? Could be worth a point in a quiz one day – you never know!(08/15)
