it’s wool...
-we are all individuals
handmade in Nepal egos slippers as well as hats and mittens are manufactured in Nepal and are 100% handmade. The raw wool used in egos slippers and knit wear 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 slipper 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 slippers are then dried in the sun, after which the suede sole is sewn on. Making egos slippers takes time and skill. That’s why egos slippers 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 slippers. 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.
natural wool Sheep’s wool is the perfect material for making shoes. 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.
