Five pack sizes, and who each one is for

Singles and pairs are Geyoga essentials in the plainest sense: a replacement. You lost one glove, the dog took a sock, the sleep mask went missing in a hotel. Buying two is not thrift, it is just the correct number, and 160 of our lines exist at that size for exactly that reason.

Three to nine is the drawer size, and it is where most of the Geyoga catalogue sits. It gives you one in the wash, one in the bag and one still in the packet. For anything worn on the head or the hands, that rotation is the difference between a thing you own and a thing you can actually find.

Ten to twenty-nine is a room. A classroom gets through that many name tags in a term, a nail bar gets through that many disposable slippers in a fortnight, a birthday party gets through that many favour bags in an afternoon. Buy for the room, not for the person.

Thirty and up is a supply. At that point the per-piece figure usually drops under a dollar, and the question stops being what it costs and starts being where you are going to keep it. Our biggest pack runs to 2,000 pieces, which is a year of a busy front desk and a lot of shelf.
