Canberra Thinks You're Boring Too

Because Canberra has heard enough. 😂

“Oh, you live in Canberra? Isn’t it… boring?”

There it is.

That sentence.

The sentence every Canberran has heard approximately 4,726 times.

Usually from someone who visited Canberra once on a Year 6 school excursion, saw Parliament House, bought a pencil from the gift shop and decided they had the city completely figured out.

Well...

Canberra would like a word.

Introducing our Canberra Thinks You’re Boring Too Socks — created in collaboration with Northdotsouth and inspired by one of the greatest Canberra comebacks of all time:

“And on behalf of all Canberrans: yes, we think you’re boring too.”

And just like that...

Canberra chose violence.

THE UNOFFICIAL CANBERRA RESPONSE 😂

These aren't socks for explaining why Canberra is great.

We're done explaining.

They're for people who already know.

The people who've watched balloons float over the lake at sunrise.

Who know Canberra has some of the best walks, food, galleries, wineries and ridiculously beautiful autumns in the country.

Who've spent summer afternoons by the lake, freezing mornings at the markets and far too much time debating which side of Canberra is superior.

And yes...

The people who secretly enjoy watching outsiders discover Canberra and say:

“Wow. I actually really like it here.”

We know.

WEAR YOUR CANBERRA ATTITUDE

Created through our collaboration with Northdotsouth, these socks take Canberra's favourite little chip-on-the-shoulder and turn it into something you can wear.

They're cheeky.

They're proudly local.

And they're considerably easier than getting into another argument with your interstate friends about whether Canberra is boring.

Just pull up your trouser leg.

The socks can handle the conversation from here.

THE PERFECT GIFT FOR...

😂 The Canberran with a sense of humour

🏡 The friend who will defend Canberra until their final breath

✈️ The former Canberran now living interstate or overseas

🎁 The impossible-to-buy-for person who definitely doesn't need another mug

🏛️ Visitors who came to Canberra expecting “boring” and left planning their next trip

😏 And especially that friend from Sydney or Melbourne who keeps making Canberra jokes.

Actually, buy them two pairs.

COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO WEAR WHILE DEFENDING AN ENTIRE CITY

The attitude might be aggressive.

The socks aren't.

Made with 80% combed cotton, they're soft, breathable and comfortable enough for work, weekends and lengthy discussions about why Canberra is criminally underrated.

80% Combed Cotton • 17% Spandex • 3% Elastic

Available in men's and women's sizes. Please refer to our size chart for the perfect fit.

CANBERRA THINKS YOU’RE BORING TOO.

It's not just a pair of socks.

It's an inside joke.

A conversation starter.

A little piece of Canberra culture.

And perhaps the most passive-aggressive souvenir you'll ever give someone.

So the next time somebody tells you Canberra is boring...

Smile.

Say nothing.

And let your ankles respond. 🧦😂
