A month filled with sugar, spice and all things nice! BLESS YOUR COTTON SOCKS Interested in knowing where this saying comes from? It comes not from the cotton material, but from George Edward Lynch Cotton. In 1858 as Bishop of Calcutta, Mr. Cotton created schools for Eurasian children. As part of his philanthropy, he ordered dozens of pairs of socks to be sent over for the children, blessing them on arrival. And so, Dave Hutchinson followed in his footsteps because for every pair of sexy socks sold, one pair of school socks is given to a child in need. They also have a new range! Read all about it online.
RISE IN RED The alternative rock band, Rise in Red’s new single compliments the emotionally charged style and distinctive sound for which they gained fame in the first place and the title of the song sounds almost prophetic. “Progression” is about someone struggling with life, death, faith and the question 'what happens next?' "This is essentially the story of progress through life,” explains the group's lead guitarist, Jayson Reynolds. "It's also a theme song for us, expanding on our journey - the path to realizing our album dream was definitely full of interesting twists."
