PANTHERELLA : TAG DETAIL

I had the pleasure of donning a fresh pair of Pantherella socks last week. A gift from a friend, the socks are made in Leicester and made my feet feel pretty darn good. I liked the detail that they had afforded on the inside of the tag, so much so that I have scanned it for your viewing here.

(Thanks to JMS Haydock for the fantastic gift)
