Oybo Socks Made in Italy

Established in Padua, Italy in 2011 by Lionello Borean and Eusebia Lupu, Oybo makes elegant, ironic and above all, untuned socks: “One pair with two souls”, one pair with two different yet coordinated socks.

It represents the desire not to take ourselves too seriously, to brighten up everyday life and
passion… and it all begins here.

Oybo loves to mix masculine and feminine, to emphasise accidents and to advocate the singularity of each personality. Whether you are a rocker or a banker, boyish or dandy
Oybo is at the crossroads of all roads.

The Oybo socks are manufactured and designed entirely in Italy and are sold mainly online and
in very few selected shops around the world in order to maintain
its uniqueness appreciated by its customers

// INTERVIEW with Lionello & Eusebia, Oybo Founders

“One pair with two souls”

1.where do you seek inspiration for your collections?

Everything I find beautiful can be an inspiration : a piece of art, a movie, a garment…

2.which one is your favourite piece from your collection and why?

My favorite pieces are the ones made of wool because they are so comfortable!

3.What is the most rewarding thing as a designer?

What I like in my job in particular is that I am not only a designer I do everything in my little company from design to bookkeeping but I thing the most rewarding thing is that my creations become real and people wear it!

4.If you weren’t a designer, what would you be?

I would probably be a cook because cooking is one of my numerous other passions

5.Your favourite moment of the day?

I think I would say the evening when I did everything I had to do during the day !
