Inpiration
Never finding the perfect slipper to myself, have been a inspiration.
I read a book about crocchet, and found a recipe for some lovely turkish slipper.
The form of a ballerina shoe is my favorite footwear shape, so I tryed to combine those two, into one slipper.
Common slipper problems :
no. 1.
Often some slippers is to hot, because it impacts the hole foot.
no.2.
Difficult to take them whit you, for a friendly visit ect..
no.3.
When your wearing a nice dress, blubby slippers just dosen`t match.
no.4.
Slim little inside shoes, doesen`t always give you enough varmth.
So... the slippers had to have this elements:
Something varm, something slim, something neutral, and something I could bring.
Something cute or maskuline.
About..
Materials.
I use only quality materials
100% wool, alpakka, mohair and cotton and hemp.
The insole of the slippers is made by exclusive wool from Nepal.
It`s a good isolation
The wool is also being used for logo application.
