Are you sick of the same old, boring socks that fill your top dresser drawer that have a few holes in them and remind you of the gym even after washing them? If so, maybe it’s time to save up some cash and invest in the world’s most expensive pair of socks—Harrys of London’s Cervelt sock. Carrying an insane price tag of $1,600, the limited supply of 100 socks are made up of some of the softest material a person can find in the world—Cervelt—which is collected from the down of a New Zealand reed deer.
With only 20 grams of fiber allowed to be collected from the deer each year, it’s arguably the most sought-after natural fiber in the world, which is why these feet huggers are so expensive. The material is also some of the highest quality out there, boasting lightness, sweat-resistance and warmth for your feet to not only stay heated, but also dry and cool to avoid any gross stench throughout the day.
So just when you thought that luxury couldn’t get any more ridiculous, Harrys goes and does something like this to remind us all that we are pretty low on the net worth totem pole. And you better believe that the people who can not only track down a pair of these but then can also afford them aren’t shy in showing them off—especially when the material is softer than the beloved cashmere.
With only a few pairs left for sale—assuming people haven’t already snatched them up—we recommend saving your money for something a little more feasible. But hey, having an item that’s as exclusive as this isn’t just a talking point, but also something that should be bragged about—plus, they beat those tube socks that come in a pack of 12 you normally buy from K-Mart.
