Since then, we have expanded to the US, and even created new in-house brands. From uniquely packaged socks (Out of the Sox ) to elevated gift boxes found at your local Winners or Marshalls, our products are fun, clever and unexpected. They are sold in big-name stores like TJ Maxx, Indigo, Barnes & Noble, and many more. In order to keep growing and expanding, we are currently looking for a creative and motivated Sourcing Lead.
