The Handsocks Story

When Virginia Mom Casey Burke Bunn forgot to pack mittens and layers for her daughter, she used a pair of ski socks to keep her hands and arms warm….and the idea for Handsocks was born!

She set out to create the perfect mitten for babies and toddlers: cozy, comfortable, warm, protecting and, they stay on without Velcro or straps. She created just what we were all wishing existed in Handsocks.

As a mother of 2 (Charlie and Jillian pictured), Casey is no stranger to the panic and upset from fingernail scratches on sweet baby skin.

She invented a product originally intended for warmth and it turned into so much more.  Now used for protection of all types, Handsocks is dedicated to being experts in protection from scratching for newborn to 3T aged children.

We are excited to be bringing happiness to little hands with our quality protective comfies.

We give back to children in need

Casey and the Handsocks team believe that every child deserves a safe, loving and happy childhood. She decided early on that Handsocks would help children in need, and we’re proud to say that a percentage of all Handsocks sales are donated to a registered charity dedicated to offering support and hope to orphans worldwide.

PERFECT PROTECTION FOR TINY HANDS

There are so many reasons why our customers love Handsocks mittens!

  • Protection: protect precious newborn skin from scratches, stop babies and little ones from irritating infant eczema, skin conditions and wounds , plus unexpected casts/ports in the NICU
  • Warmth: the unique mitten base rolls up the arm to become a sleeve, giving warmth and a perfect fit
  • Comfort: Our Handsocks have a blankie feel, so soft and comforting and the minky-style have extra padding too
  • No-fling: The sleeve-like effect keeps the Handsocks on without tightness or using Velcro or straps. No more lost mittens!
  • Fashion: Our cute design co-ordinates with plains or patterns, and gives a sweet pattern surprise when the hands are turned back
  • MITTENS GROW WITH YOUR CHILD: Handsocks are a lifestyle brand with models ranging from NB-3T. Our cozy, cute, and protective mittens are designed to grow with your child's needs.

Available in different styles with many more coming! 

As per our founder’s vision, we produce limited quantity styles and prints.  This keeps new products coming from Handsocks on a frequent basis.  If you like a print, get it fast before it’s gone forever!  This also makes your special print of Handsocks pretty rare which is super fun.

We are involving our Handsocks fans to pick new prints and name our mittens.

The first ever mittens were named after Casey’s kids Charlie (blue) and Jilly (pink).
