We have New products to compliment your slippers and a completely new Colour range for Spring.
Here is just a taste of things to come - and I promise to be a better blogger in future!

On Holidays!!

Just to let you know that we are away this week, back in action by the weekend.

New design....and the little girls just love it !!

These are the softest shoes you can give a young child when they begin to walk.

The tops are cotton lycra which has been hand dyed with low toxic sun reactive dye. This pair is pinks and purples with miniature horses and the sweetest horse shoes.

The soles are soft suede leather, and they are bound in a pink cotton trim.

Inside is a layer of pure wool felt, so snuggly and cosy.

This pair is

13cms in length (5.1")
approx age 12 months.

This print is now avaiable to custom order in all sizes.

Wow....it's hot,hot.hot!!

Not that i'm complaining ! Our dye is low toxic and sunreactive so we need lots of sunshine - especially at this time of year !!!!

We are working very hardest to make sure you all get the slippers you need as soon as possible, but please do bare with us. Each pair is hand dyed, hand cut and individually stitched to ensure a great quality product that you and your kids will Love ;-))

Ordering is easy !

If you would like to place an order, you can contact us by 'phone or email. You just need to have the size you require in Cm's - usually the size of the foot + 1cm, and the print design of your choice.
