Pure wool felt slippers, made by hand.
Naturally felted wool, handmade by artisans on Lake Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan — brought to you through our atelier in Lausanne. Warm, breathable, and built to outlast a good many winters.
Pure new wool
Only healthy, natural fleece — felted with nothing but water, soap and warm hands. No glue, no synthetics. Each slipper is one continuous piece of wool, with nothing to peel, crack, or come unglued.
Made by hand
Every pair is wet-felted and shaped by hand — the way felt has been made across the steppe for centuries. Small runs, real hands, honest work.
Swiss–Kyrgyz roots
Our slippers are made by a small family workshop on Lake Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan. We bring them to Switzerland — one felt tradition meeting another.
Wool you can almost feel
Pure natural fleece, matted by water and hand into one dense, seamless piece — no glue, no synthetics. Lean in: the closer you look, the more the fibres show.
— hand-felted, never machine-stamped
01
The fleece
It starts with raw fleece — washed, carded, and laid out by hand in fine, even layers. The colour is the wool's own; no dye on the naturals.
02
Water & soap
Warm water, a little soap, then patience. The fibres begin to lock into one another — this is felting, and it holds with no glue and no stitching.
Shaped by hand
Rolled, pressed, and worked by hand until a flat sheet of wool is coaxed into the curve of a slipper — one continuous piece, no seams.
04
The pair
Dried, trimmed, and finished with a soft sole. What began as a handful of fleece is ready to keep a pair of feet warm for many winters.This season's pairs
A small run of felted house slippers in natural and plant-dyed wool. Sizes 36–49, each shaped for a barefoot fit.
