Wearing your favourite art on your sleeve is now passé. That’s what this art-lover found when she stumbled onto Instagram store Nukkad’s art-inspired socks. From Edvard Munch to Vincent Van Gogh, the cotton socks pay a tribute to master-painters from across different art movements, while keeping your feet comfortable.

The socks line was launched this month to mark their first anniversary. Mumbai-based Akash Chaudhari, the brains behind Nukkad, shares that the small business took off when he was looking to help his family out amid a financial crisis. The former UPSC aspirant and BA student, who hails from Surat, started off by printing and customising posters and T-shirts. “I have always harboured a love for art. I had the textbook knowledge about artists and was fascinated by the customised T-shirts and merchandise that international platforms offer, something that I felt was lacking in India,” he tells us.
