Old Chang Kee and Talking Toes are putting a nostalgic twist on fashion to celebrate Singapore’s 60th birthday. Launching this August, the limited-edition Old Chang Kee x Talking Toes – “Keep Calm and Curry On” Athletic Sock brings local flavour straight to your feet.
Part of Talking Toes’ annual After School Hours collection, the collaboration reimagines Old Chang Kee’s iconic visuals and logos into a bold, playful sock design. It’s a first for the snack giant, best known for its legendary curry puffs and street food staples, and a stylish nod to generations of childhood memories shared under HDB blocks over icy treats and savoury bites.
