Souvenir Socks
A souvenir you don't put on a shelf, but actually wear every day: that's our collection of Dutch socks. From bikes, windmills and canal houses to cheese, tulips and Delft Blue, and from Van Gogh and Mondrian to cheerful rainbow socks. You'll find over a hundred designs in women's, men's and children's sizes, as a single pair or as a complete gift set. A colourful piece of Holland for yourself, or a present that always fits.
Buy Dutch souvenir socks: Holland from head to toe
The Netherlands has a handful of images everyone recognises instantly: a bike leaning against a bridge railing, a windmill on a dyke, a row of crooked canal houses, a golden wheel of cheese at the market and the blue tiles of Delft. You'll find all of these icons in our collection of Holland socks. They're cheerful, comfortable and just that little bit different from an ordinary pair. And because you actually wear them, they bring back a memory of Holland every time you put them on.
De Holland Winkel has been selling Dutch souvenirs since 2002. In this category we've brought all our souvenir socks together, so you can easily choose by theme, colour or size.
Which Dutch socks can you choose from?
Bike socks
Nowhere in the world do people cycle as much as in the Netherlands, so socks with bicycles on them are a must. Choose black, grey, navy, red or pink, with one big bike or a whole row of little ones. There's even a great-value set of three pairs of cycling socks for men.
Museum socks: Van Gogh, Mondrian and Vermeer
Wear a masterpiece on your feet. Our museum socks feature The Starry Night, Sunflowers and Almond Blossom by Vincent van Gogh, Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer, and the bold blocks of red, yellow and blue by Piet Mondrian.
Delft Blue socks and tulips
The famous blue-and-white pottery from Delft, translated to your sock drawer: tile patterns, flowers, windmills and the kissing couple in Delft Blue. Fancy a bit more colour? Then go for socks with red or pink tulips.
Cheese, windmills and Amsterdam
Cheese socks with Dutch and Gouda cheeses, windmills in every colour, clogs, Dutch fries, Amsterdam canal houses and the city's coat of arms with its three St Andrew's crosses. It doesn't get much more Dutch than this.
Orange and rainbow socks
For King's Day or a match of the Dutch national team, pick the orange socks with the Dutch lion. Want to show that Amsterdam is a city for everyone? Our rainbow socks are a cheerful choice, for both men and women.
Children's socks
Even the smallest feet can walk the Dutch way. Our socks for kids come with fun designs such as bikes, tulips and aeroplanes, in sizes for toddlers and for children of around seven or eight.

Art on your feet: the story behind our museum socks
Van Gogh painted his Almond Blossom in 1890 as a gift for his newborn nephew, who was named after Vincent himself. The blossoming branches against a bright blue sky symbolise new life, which makes Van Gogh socks with this design a thoughtful present for a new baby or a fresh start.
Piet Mondrian reduced painting to black lines and blocks of primary colour. His style is so recognisable that Mondrian socks say "Dutch design" at a single glance. That way you wear a piece of Dutch art history, whether you're heading to the office or to the museum.
