Some Socks Have Stocking Envy

Bringing Barry and Lucy to Life: The Magic of Sock Puppets

When we first set out to create Barry and Lucy, our delightful sock puppet stars, we had no idea how much joy (and chaos) they would bring to the Extra Wide Sock Company family. What started as a fun way to showcase our socks turned into a hilarious adventure that we can’t wait to share with all of you!

The Art of Creating Barry and Lucy

Crafting sock puppets is equal parts creativity and laughter. Barry began as a bold striped sock, while Lucy started her journey as a cheerful polka-dot design. With some googly eyes, yarn for hair, and a little felt for expressive mouths, these characters took on personalities of their own. Each stitch and glue dot was a labor of love—and maybe a few mishaps (let’s just say Barry’s first set of eyebrows were a bold choice).

Why Sock Puppets?

You might wonder, "Why sock puppets?" Well, our socks aren’t just for keeping your feet cozy—they’re a canvas for creativity and fun! Barry and Lucy let us explore the quirky, playful side of our brand. Through their antics, we can celebrate everything we love about socks while sharing laughs with our amazing customers.

As we move into 2025, you’ll see a lot more of Barry and Lucy. They’ll tackle everything from holiday mischief to everyday sock dilemmas. Whether they’re debating Santa’s Naughty List or dreaming of being stockings, they’re here to keep you entertained and smiling.
