egos shoes are designed in Denmark and manufactured in Nepal. egos has been certified by the World Fair Trade Organization.
100% fair trade egos shoes are manufactured by the Danish company Én Gry & Sif, which has worked with the production of felt products in Nepal since 2000. The company has therefore acquired a large amount of know-how and experience in the business, from which the egos shoes benefit greatly. Right from the start it was important that all the work should be carried out under fair and orderly conditions, and that the workers should be paid a decent wage for their work. It was therefore a source of great pride to the company when it was certified in 2009 by the World Fair Trade Organization. Over the years, the company has provided financial support for such projects as an orphanage in Nepal, as well as for production workers and their families. Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world, and egos is proud to be able to create jobs there which help the country to take small steps in the right direction.
100% handmade egos shoes are manufactured in Nepal and are 100% handmade. The raw wool used in egos shoes derives from New Zealand sheep. The raw wool is dyed with eco-friendly dyes. The wool is then carded, and the actual work of making the shoe can begin. The carded wool is shaped and soapy water is massaged into it, causing the small fibres in the wool to link together. The wet shoes are then dried in the sun, after which the suede sole is sewn on. Making egos shoes takes time and skill. That’s why egos shoes are manufactured in Nepal, where there is a long and proud tradition of felting. The best felt workers in the world are found in Nepal, and luckily some of them work to make egos shoes.
100% natural wool Sheep’s wool is the perfect material for making slippers. Wool is a natural product with great insulating properties. It allows the feet to breathe, and the shoes never feel too hot or too cold. Wool can absorb up to 30% moisture without feeling wet, and without losing its insulating property. Moreover, natural wool contains lanolin, which makes the wool resistant to dirt, moisture and grime, and also reduces odours. When you start to use your egos shoes, they take on the form of your individual foot.
