Tabio has made socks in Japan since 1968 and has grown into an internationally recognized hosiery brand. The company opened its Kutsushitaya boutique in 1984 and expanded overseas with its first store outside Japan in London in 2002, later adding a flagship on Rue Saint-Sulpice in Paris. Its men's range includes toe socks, ribbed and jacquard crew socks, and Washi-fiber styles, with most pairs priced between €13 and €23.
