Chalé is the most popular Ghanaian icebreaker. On the surface, Chalé means buddy or friend. You would greet and address an old friend as ‘Chalé!’ You would also call a new friend ‘Chalé!’ Its origin stems from ‘Chalé Wote’ a Ga word meaning “Chalé lets go!” — the flip-flops you wear inside the house or outside for a stroll.

Chalé Socks is a Ghanaian brand offering culturally inspired socks, telling stories of strong African heritage. We make socks for people who not only choose to walk or run their own path but are also willing to ensure others have the opportunity to do the same. The story of Chalé Socks is woven together with the Kente weaving people of Agotime Kpetoe. Growing up, we observed craftsmen and women weave intricate Kente patterns from methods passed down by their forefathers.
