Woven Washi Paper Moccasin Style Slippers, Extra Large

Woven Washi Paper Moccasin Style Slippers, Extra Large
£40.50
Ex Tax: £33.75
A pair of moccasin style slippers, crafted in Japan from a unique fabric composed entirely of washi paper. During the process of making a sheet of traditional Japanese washi paper, kumazasa (a type of bamboo) flakes are blended into the the mix to create a sheet of Sasawashi paper. These sheets are then cut into either narrow or wide strips, the twisting of which respectively create fine and thick yarns, which can then be woven or knitted into products with all the benefits of this new yarn — including high water and oil absorbency, natural antibacterial and deodorant power from the added kumazasa, and a washing durability on par with Cotton. These slippers will keep your feet dry and comfortable, and are especially recommended for barefoot wearing. Sized large, measuring 28cm to 30.5cm. 

Care Advice

Do not use bleach, and wash in a laundry net. Please wash with similar colours, as the dye from other fabrics may run. Do not machine dry — air dry, bearing in mind that Sasawashi fabrics will take longer to dry due to being highly absorbent.
  • Materials Body: 100% Sasawashi, sole: synthetic leather
