Our Story

K.Bell Socks was founded by fashionista and DIYer Karen Bell in 1979. Karen’s penchant for creativity and strong business acumen paved the way for colorful, expressive and embellished socks that feel as great as they look. She started at home, dying and bedazzling her socks and tights, transforming “essentials” into something very special. Her ambitions grew her one-woman show to a multi-million-dollar, international business. The signature charm and appeal of K.Bell Socks comes from the fun, stylish side of Karen’s personality, coupled with strong attention to comfort and longevity.

For over 40 years, K.Bell Socks has built a global reputation for great design and quality products. You can find K.Bell at major retailers, specialty stores and online via legacy sock manufacturer Renfro Brands.
