The pattern on these cotton blend socks, inspired by traditional Ghanaian Kente cloth, is named for the Nigerian and Ghanaian pidgin word Comot, popularised throughout West Africa. Often heard while sitting in traffic in Lagos or Accra, the word means ‘get out’ or ‘move out of the way.’ The socks are designed in Ghana by Afrisocks, a company founded by Ghanaian entrepreneurs looking to celebrate traditional West African textile designs.
