Meet the founder
Damien founded Quanailles alongside his work as an IT consultant. His project is primarily guided by passion and human adventure. His wish? To dress ankles and tell stories through ethical novelty socks. But that's not all. With his socks, Damien wants to promote French manufacturing all over the world.
About the brand
Quanailles is a brand of eco-responsible novelty socks with wacky designs created by artists. The little extra? They are sold by the pair or individually.
But Quanailles is above all the story of a father and his son who had a little nightly ritual: before going to bed, the son would choose the socks his father would wear to work the next day. This little game quickly became a distinctive element at the office. Fully embracing his style from head to toe, that's how the idea for Quanailles emerged in his mind. A sock brand, as a way to break certain codes and not fit into boxes. Original pieces, made to be embraced, claimed, and shown off.
Over time, Damien realized that his son had a knack for choosing the most eye-catching and colorful socks. "A real little rascal," he said to himself. The name was found and Quanailles was finally born!
Eco-responsible impact
Quanailles' approach is responsible. The socks are made of OEKO-TEX certified cotton (without products harmful to people or the planet). The brand uses 100% recyclable envelopes and green stamps in order to limit its greenhouse gas emissions. Its next eco-responsible goal: to create a virtuous circle by recycling socks to make new ones.
