Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Rob Kardashian’s designer sock range, Arthur George, is not selling well in US stores – and, according to sources, is likely to be dropped from the department store they are being sold in.
The patterned socks, which cost $30 USD a pair at Neiman Marcus, are not popular with customers.
“Rob’s socks sold around the Christmas holiday, but since then no-one has been really buying them,” a source at Neiman Marcus told Radar Online. “We actually had to ship a bunch out to other stores because they weren’t moving at all. To be honest, a lot of customers bought them more as a gag gift. At this point it doesn’t look like we’re going order anymore.”
Ginger Reeder, VP of Corporate Communications at the department store, denied the rumours that the sock line was coming to an end.
“The Arthur George by Robert Kardashian sock line has proven to be very popular with our customers. Currently we are carrying the socks in all 41 Neiman Marcus stores as well as at neimanmarcus.com, have just placed a large reorder in anticipation of Father’s Day and have a personal appearance with Rob scheduled next month in our Las Vegas store.”
Rob’s range was his attempt to make his mark on the Kardashian empire, after the 26-year-old expressed in an episode of their reality TV show that he felt left out of the family’s endorsement deals.
