The Problem

Every home has a drawer full of lonely socks.
Every dryer has never been held accountable.
No one is taking responsibility.

Until now.

Sole Mates

Sole Mates is a retail store dedicated exclusively to single socks—specifically the abandoned, widowed, mysteriously orphaned socks left behind after their partner vanished into the dryer abyss.

We don’t sell pairs.
We sell closure.

How It Works

Bring in your unmatched sock.
No shame. We’ve seen worse.

We consult the Wall of Orphans
thousands of single socks organized by:

• Color

• Pattern

• Fabric

• Emotional energy

You choose your outcome:

• Exact Match

• Close Enough Cousin
  (same vibe, different life story)

You walk out whole again.
Not paired.
Resolved.

Mission Statement
