Description
Aura Que MITA handmade felt slippers – mustard. Wonderfully comfortable slip-on mule slippers, individually handcrafted by a women’s co-operative in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. Each piece is made around a reusable ‘resist’ mould and felted by hand, then felted more around reusable resin EU size last to give a consistent shoe size. They are dried in the sun and the suede sole is beautifully machine-stitched into place to finish each pair.
Size up if in any doubt, as the slippers are comfy with thin socks and better roomy. The slippers mould gently to the wearer’s feet with use.. Any stretching limits the lifespan of the slippers.

WHY WE SOURCED THIS SUPPLIER
- AURA QUE works closely with small producer groups that are WFTO (World Fair Trade Organisation) members to ensure healthy and safe work environments and payment of living wages.
- The company aims to carbon offset all its air miles in order to reduce its carbon footprint. The manufacturing process uses minimal machinery . For example, most of the sewing machines rely on motion foot pedals without using energy supplies. Reusing and recycling as much as possible reduces waste, both in the office and the workshops.
