The world shines a little brighter thanks to the small things that make us unique. That’s why every year we design mismatched socks to support World Down Syndrome Day.
A Cause Close to Home
We’re proud to work alongside foundations like Aura Fundació, which helps people with intellectual disabilities find work and supports them throughout their journey.
Diversity and inclusion make this world a better place for everyone, and that’s something we know firsthand.

More About World Down Syndrome Day
It’s celebrated on March 21st. Why?
Because Down Syndrome is also known as trisomy 21, or the tripling (3 copies) of chromosome 21. That’s why this day is celebrated.
How do we support this cause?
By running 10 kilometers in mismatched socks!
Every year we team up with Aura Fundació, and this year couldn’t be any different. In fact, we designed a special 3-sock pack called 3-Socks for DOWN, where 100% of the profits went to support their social and job inclusion programs.
And that’s not all – these socks were the official design of La Cursa, El Corte Inglés’ annual 10-kilometer race. Thanks to them, we got to see the streets of Barcelona colored with the colors of inclusion.
We’re so happy to collaborate with Aura Fundació, and we can’t wait to see what next year has in store!
Thanks socks much!
