The Manufacturing Process
Each pair of Ou Skaapse slippers is made from genuine South African merino sheepskin and is cut in full size pieces directly from the hide to ensure minimal seams and maximum comfort.
The slippers are hand crafted, meaning that they are individually marked out and cut with shears, then hand punched and stitched with high strength natural fibre waxed thread. Finally they are fitted with a sturdy sole to ensure long lasting durability.
The slippers are made by me in my workshop at home, ensuring that each pair is lovingly conceived and created and that standards are of the highest quality.
As with most natural materials, sheepskin and leather by its very nature is organic and contains variances and imperfections in texture, colour, appearance and density of fur. These are not flaws or faults but rather serve to enhance the unique look and add to the character of your Ou Skaapse slippers.
