Plant Dye socks - Arvin x Alimo
We teamed up with Arvin Goods to create an exclusive pair of naturally-dyed socks in a sun-drenched yellow colorway that captures his fun-loving attitude, and a handful of limited-edition prints titled "Party Wave" that reflect Arvin's collective approach to making the world a better place.
Dyed with an innovative IndiDye® process, which uses 98% less water and far less energy than conventional dyeing methods. These rich hues are achieved with all-natural, plant-based dyes (Flos Sophorae) without any added chemical mordants, metals, or salts. And there is zero water waste. That's right. Zero.
To lessen our impact on the world while we practice and push on our sustainable efforts, we've teamed up with our partners at SeaTrees to donate 10% of the sock sales to plant trees out in Indonesia. SeaTrees makes it easy for anyone who cares about the ocean (don't we all) to directly support communities planting and protecting blue-carbon coastal ecosystems. The most effective way to suck carbon out of the atmosphere. Period.
Our lives are a blend of work and play, and hey, sometimes you've gotta wear shoes. That's when really good socks come in handy. Do good while lessening your impact with Alimo x Arvin.

Born and raised in Oregon, Alimo finds himself traveling all over the world to find inspiration to paint. His process relies on an obsession with interacting and interpreting the world around him. This process involves daily watercolor paintings and sketches on location to brain dump ideas, to then polishing compositions on both the computer and canvas.
Alimo is best known for his curvy post-pop imagery, highly saturated colors, vibrant hand-drawn letters, and worlds inhabited by figures arranged on flat tonal surfaces. His line-work blends both drawing and design with inspiration from the ocean to the mountains focusing on people interacting with their everyday selves. The art can typically be seen on paintings, prints, NFTs, murals, and merchandise. Alimo gets inspiration from the outdoors, snowboarding, surfing, exploring, photography, hanging with friends, and anything that provokes creativity.
His work can be seen with clients like Patagonia, Portland Trail Blazers, and 10 Barrel Brewing Co. to name a few. Always on the horizon for new clients that fit his environmental and sustainable ethos to create a new imagination for the world to see.
