Delicious, Hand knitted slippers from Padraig Cottage


My babe received a pair of these adorable slippers from Padraig Cottage last year, and I am obsessed with them! What a lovely way to greet a chilly morning. Crocheted with hand dyed wool, lined with soft sheepskin, and soled with leather, these booties are ultra warm, comfortable, and extremely washable. (I washed mine about 100 times. Just don't put in dryer!) They even have a tie around the ankle, so they will stay on even the wiggliest growing feet! Since making the first pair of slippers in 1977 for her son, owner Helen has grown her company and the slipper line, and they are now sold in boutiques across Canada, the United States and Europe. Still independently owned and operating out of North Vancouver, Padraig employs local artisans and ensures product quality and support of the local community. Of their tagline that reads, "Return Home", she says "we chose this to remind ourselves of what is important and the core values that are at the heart of Padraig Cottage Ind." What's even better? They come in adult sizes! Shown, The Newborn Slipper in Rainbow. $20.59 Order directly here, or buy locally in Santa Monica! Acorn Store 1220 5th Street Santa Monica, CA 90401 (310) 451-5845
