Art Accessories: Renaissance Re-Imagined

art accessories

Bring the gallery home with Joe Cool’s art accessories!

Unrivalled in its fame, Botticelli’s ‘The Birth of Venus’ has been engraved into popular culture forever and is symbolic for its depiction of femininity, beauty and grandeur. Part of our collection of ‘Masterpiece’ fans, this art accessory is an absolute spectacle. Re-imagined by contrasting the intricate delicacy of the painters masterful hand with gaudy golds, leopard print and Tiffany blue, we paired chunky chains with rusty wooden notes to bring Botticelli into the 21st century.

Staying true to the playful DNA of Joe Cool, an eclectic range of accessories have been selected to couple with our Botticelli Masterpiece fan. Wire and beaded glass textures work in tandem with acrylic and gold finishes to heighten the colour palette found in the painting. Subtle wood tones are used to ground the composition, all styled together to conjure a ravishing Renaissance re-telling.

Fashioned from bamboo and cotton, our ‘Masterpiece’ fans serve both style and function. The chicest way to combat the pesky perspiration brought on by the encroaching summer heat. Whether its Hokusai’s beating ‘Great Wave’, the soothing scene of Monet’s ‘Water Lilies’ or the beaming buds found in Van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers’ and ‘Irises’, we can’t get enough of the natural motifs in cooling blues and joyous summertime yellows. When they aren’t being used to fabulously fan yourself down in the summer months, they double as their own work of art to be displayed in your home. The ultimate art accessories!

Complimentary to our fans are our range of ‘Masterpiece’ socks in both ankle and ‘no show’ styles. Featuring fabled works by legendary artists ranging from Matisse to Munch to Renoir. Our 85% cotton and spandex blend ensures the highest quality and comfort whilst our variety of designs guarantee trend-setting toes. Why not elevate your sock game with our Mona Lisa selection? Nothing screams fashionista quite like a pair of Da Vinci draped digits!

No-show fake socks – hidden prints & patterns

New no-show fake socks are now in stock! We have a great selection featuring some of our best selling designs.

The ‘Masterpiece’ selection has undoubtedly been one of our most successful sock lines and we are now rolling out this range in the ever more popular ‘no-show’ style of sock. All the classics are there; from Leonardo’s ‘Mona Lisa’ and Botticelli’s ‘Birth of Venus’ to Gustav Klimt’s ‘The Kiss’ and Munch’s iconic ‘Scream’. In addition, you will find new fake socks featuring the wonderful classics of Van Gogh, Renoir and Monet.

As ever, our fake socks are great on quality with a high cotton content and good stretch. This famous painting selection builds on the current range of cute animals and animal-print no-shows. Sweet cats, penguins, polar bears, pandas dogs and bunnies are a few of the adorable creatures in the collection.

More sophisticated perhaps are the leopard print, zebra and tiger stripes and classic animal prints in more neutral colours – a chance for you to discover your ‘inner animal’ perhaps?

For a slightly different take on the masterpiece theme we have new fake socks coming in soon which, rather then woven designs, are printed. This renders very ‘true to original’ images. Made from a slightly denser material with a higher synthetic content, these fake-socks nevertheless are of top quality.

In addition to new versions of the famous classics in the current collection, you will find many more beautiful artworks. The no-show fake socks shown offer a small taste of the range, see the full set in the Socks collection. Finally, our simple no-show bow socks are a perfect contrast to the amazing range of styles on offer.
