“The design of the single pack is based on the recycled cardboard box with rounded opening on top, making it easy to see the colour of the sock inside. On top of the box is also golden engraving of the brand. The idea behind the mystery pack comes from the well known paper towel box, but instead of pulling out paper towels, you pull out random colour socks.
