Description

These Platypus Socks are high-quality, plush and hard-wearing yellow socks made from luxurious bamboo fibre that feature animated platypuses all around. Platypuses are among the only mammals that lay eggs. Like turtles, they lay their eggs in a burrow close to the water. 

We donate 10% of profits to the Australian Wildlife Conservancy, protecting platypuses from extinction. They make great work socks, gym socks, and hiking socks. Platypus socks make the perfect, quirky gift for animal lovers.
