*Recycled Salmon Skin Leather handmade wool slippers are back! A great style that hugs the foot and stretches over uniquely shaped feet that don't always go well with more structured slippers. We love the story of Chilote slippers.
Wool Slippers 100% hand made in Patagonia with natural sheep wool with a durable upcycled salmon skin leather base. With use, they will conform to the shape of the wearer’s own foot. Each pair includes a unique QR code with the artisan’s geo-location and a repair kit to personalise or repair as needed.
Up-cycled Salmon Leather: Chilote's award winning material innovation is a repurposed by-product of the local salmon industry. It is very flexible and as soft as suede yet extremely tough. Its natural scale pattern provides a perfect grip.
Chilote Shoes are smart & beautiful positive impact wool slippers. Hand made in Patagonia through a co-op system of ethical production by independent artisans. Warm, comfortable and made to last. With no factory in sight, each pair of Chilote House Shoes are handcrafted slowly by a network of independent artisan women. These wool slippers get down to the root of what makes traditional craftsmanship so remarkable.
Chilote use locally-sourced raw wool, vegetable saddle leather or reclaimed salmon skin leather, and a QR code that transparently tracks each wool slipper back to the artisan group that made it.
