Dornröschen

Dornröschen, also known as Briar Rose, is one of the most beloved fairy tale heroines. In this enchanting tale, she sleeps for a century in a tower that becomes ensnared by lush, thorny roses. These beautiful roses bloom just as the prince arrives to rescue Rosamond, creating a magical scene that symbolizes both beauty and adventure. Our knee-high socks capture the essence of this story, representing the moment when the thorns entwine around the tower while blooming magnificently, thanks to the prince’s valiant efforts. Wear these socks and embrace the timeless charm of fairy tales!
