Felted slippers, boiled wool slippers, 100% pure wool clogs – they all describe our woolen slippers.
Welcome to our Wooppers House! Here we make slippers out of fine lamb’s or merino wool. With skilled hands we turn it into the coziest house slippers for women, men and kids.
The process starts by laying the wool, which we then rub with organic soap and water. As a result the microscopic barbs on the wool’s surface hook together forming the material; felt. We carefully mold this felt around shoe lasts and work it further, until we shape it into a unique pair of felted slippers without any seams or stitches. In our studio we have adapted the ancient craft of wet felting in order to create contemporary slippers and other felt items for everyday use.
The Wooppers’ style is bold and minimalistic. Their color match every taste and mood. Essentially,Wooppers are designed to give you visual, tactile and ‘felt’ pleasure.
What makes wooppers felted slippers so unique
- Made of pure wool, they naturally carry the properties of the material; soft, warm, breathable and hygienic.
- The way we craft them makes them a pleasure to wear.
When we create Wooppers slippers we use more wool on the underside than on the upper part. It is a hand process mastered by repetition and skill. By doing it this way a wool “cushion” will support your feet, which will eventually take the shape of your sole. The slippers will follow your own anatomy hugging your feet softly and naturally.
- We have the ability to tailor make them according to your own requirements, measures and color combinations. We have a way of adjusting our shoe lasts in order to make your slippers fit you perfectly in case you have a very specific need. Special adjustments may incur additional costs. Please feel free to contact us!
- We pride ourselves on our customer care. Chryssa is always keen to communicate with you, understand your needs and do her best to deliver a product that will satisfy you; shoes to keep your feet cozy and happy in the comfort of your own home.
Our ethos
We believe in life’s simple pleasures and that the objects we use in daily life affect our mood and well being. When producing your slippers we make sure not to compromise our ethics, which essentially mean respect for the environment and the people we are working with.
In our studio we manufacture with minimal impact on the environment. The wool comes from sheep raised cruel free. Last but not least we value our working relationships by offering respectful and fair wages and the best possible working environment.
