Chilote House Shoes

Warm Feet & Happy Soul

If you read most of my posts, you know I love a brand that makes being at home extra cozy. My feet are always cold, and I always need socks or shoes. So when I put Chilote's wool slippers on for the first time, I became instantly hooked. These little guys are like walking on warm pillows & will treat you right all winter. Besides their ultra-comfiness & practicality, they also have a fantastic mission behind them - one I know you conscious consumers will appreciate greatly! 

Chilote's Wool Slippers are handmade by independent artisan women in Patagonia through a co-op ethical production system. Each pair is made with a lot of love and helps sustain culture & its unique craft. I loved preserving artisans' crafts when I started my ethical clothing journey five years ago. So naturally, Chilote is a brand I can get behind 100% & one I wish I had known years ago!

The artisans keep their carbon footprint low by using locally sourced materials. The natural raw sheep wool is extremely warm and cuddly. The loose-knit & fiber properties help keep the slipper insulated and ventilated {so no sweaty feet, of course!}. The sole is made of salmon leather, a locally re-purposed and up-cycled renewable material that is durable, soft, and flexible. My apartment has half carpet and wood flooring, which work great on both! The neutral tones make them easy to pair with all your leisure wear. {if you're like me, even your after-work clothes need to match & look good :P}

What is excellent for us techies is their product code links attached to their packaging. Just scan it and find more information about the artisan you are supporting. I love when products get intimate like this! It makes you truly appreciate the craftsmanship & creates a connection between maker and consumer we don't often see enough. For example, my slippers came from Puerto Varas, the city of roses. If you want to see a gorgeous town - google this place now!! 

& guess what, parents!? They make baby shoes, too, and they are the sweetest!
