We fell head over heels for a Tel Aviv-based enterprise that lets us support artists simply by putting on a pair of socks.
There’s certainly no shortage of socks available in all colors and designs, but Collectoe was created to showcase and support international artists in a unique, wearable way.
“Around two years ago, our founder – serial entrepreneur and art lover Assaf Balulu had the idea to create a brand with a meaning behind it and that does some good,” says Metav Djemal, product manager for Collectoe.

If there’s one thing artists have learned, it’s that Instagram offers the perfect blank canvas. Particularly during a pandemic.
Israeli artist Shira Barzilay, better known online as Koketit, has been using the photo-sharing social networking platform to try out new ideas with her 306,000 followers.
Known for her coquettish line drawings that often focus on the female figure and female empowerment, Barzilay connects with many of her new clients through Instagram.
