James Bond 007 Heraldry Sock Giftbox by The London Sock Exchange

The London Sock Exchange has released a new James Bond set of socks: the James Bond 007 Heraldry Sock Giftbox.

Inspired by James Bond’s secret mission in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969), the gift set contains two pairs of socks featuring intricately embroidered motifs.

The Bond Crest and the De Bleuchamp / Blofeld Crest are rendered in coloured threads on ribbed socks. Each boxed set also features three collectible inserts.

To infiltrate Blofeld's lair high in the Swiss Alps, 007 assumes the identity of Sir Hilary Bray from the College of Arms in London.

Pretending to be Sir Hilary, Bond helps establish Blofeld's claims to the noble title of Count Balthazar de Bleuchamp. But, in reality, Bond is there to uncover – and ultimately foil – Blofeld’s plans for global chaos and destruction.

The heraldic crests are recreated in miniature, using cutting-edge, hyper-detailed techniques and over a dozen unique colours for each embroidered crest. The socks themselves have been made from specially sourced, organic combed cotton yarns, knitted and ribbed using 200 needles for next-level comfort and durability.

The Bond Crest Sock

“The arms of Sir Thomas Bond, Baronet of Peckham, died 1734. Argent on a chevron sable. Three bezants.”

We’re first introduced to the Bond family crest by Sir Hilary Bray at the College of Arms in London in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1969), while he and 007 discuss the details of Bond’s mission to Switzerland. “Good motto, eh?” Sir Hilary finally adds. “The World is Not Enough.”

The De Bleuchamp / Blofeld Crest Sock

The De Bleuchamp / Blofeld Crest features Proud eagles flanking a crown adorned with nine pearls to signify counthood; a warrior’s helmet; the precipitous, snow-capped peak of a mountain.

The features of the de Bleuchamp / Blofeld coat of arms simmer with a rare heraldic ferocity. And nowhere is that spirit more evident than in the growling boar sitting at the crest’s heart: a timeless, visceral symbol of persistence, intrepidness and cunning – much like the aspiring Count himself.

The James Bond 007 Heraldry Sock Giftbox by The London Sock Exchange is now available at the 007Store (£30 / $38).
