Luxury you can live in—crafted in Australia from ethically sourced sheepskin
1. The slipper that wears a crown
Slide your feet into Princess Sheepskin Slippers and you’ll understand why they’ve earned their regal title. Hand-cut from single-grade Australian sheepskin and plush enough to rival the softest hotel robe, these slippers cushion, thermoregulate and pamper in equal measure. They’re the pair you reach for before dawn’s first coffee, the faithful companion on long-haul flights and the reward after every work-from-home sprint.
Bondi bundles and honeysuckle taster tins feed the soul—with Princess, we’ve created something that feeds the senses every single day.
2. Why premium sheepskin makes all the difference
2.1 Breathable warmth
Wool fibres are naturally crimped, forming millions of microscopic air pockets that trap warm air yet release excess heat when you step inside. Scientific testing by <a href=”https://www.woolmark.com/fibre/wool-fibre/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>The Woolmark Company</a> shows that merino wool can absorb up to 30 % of its own weight in moisture vapour without feeling damp, then release it to keep skin temperature stable—something synthetic fleece simply can’t match.
2.2 Hypoallergenic softness
Lanolin within the fibres offers a light, natural resistance to odour-causing bacteria, letting you wear the slippers barefoot without concern. No scratchiness, no artificial fragrances, just pure cloud-like pile.
2.3 Durability worth the investment
Full-depth sheepskin retains loft for years when cared for properly. Stitch counts are higher, seams are double-bound, and the outsole uses EVA blended with 20 % recycled rubber for lightweight grip on tiles, timber and carpet alike.
3. Made in Australia—the ethical advantage
Every pair is cut, stitched and finished in a family-run workshop on the NSW South Coast. We trace our hides back to regional farms that follow the Australian Animal Welfare Standards, ensuring humane treatment throughout the sheep’s life cycle.
-
Local jobs – Skilled cutters, machinists and quality-control staff keep traditional footwear crafts alive.
-
Fewer miles – Raw hides travel an average of just 800 km from paddock to tannery to workshop, slicing freight emissions.
-
Transparent supply chain – Our makers are licensed to carry the green-and-gold kangaroo logo administered by the https://australianmade.com.au/
4. Design notes: Princess from toe to heel
| Feature | How it feels | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Satin-bound collar | Smooth against the ankle | Prevents stretch, looks glam when peeking out from pyjamas |
| Contoured memory-foam footbed | Instant ‘ahh-factor’, rebounds within seconds | Even weight distribution reduces arch fatigue |
| Raised vamp with split-toe seam | Snug hug over the instep | Stops the “slipper shuffle”; more secure than open-back slides |
| Lightweight EVA/rubber sole | Flexes quietly, grips when dashing to the mailbox | Indoor focus but tough enough for quick trips to the café |
| Neutral colour palette | Stone, blush and charcoal | Complements linen robes, denim, athleisure alike |
5. Sustainability snapshot
| Metric | What we’re doing |
|---|---|
| Biodegradability | Untreated wool fibres break down in soil within 12 months; synthetic fleece can take centuries |
| Chemical stewardship | Chromium-free tanning; water recycled through closed-loop filtration |
| Packaging | Recycled-card box + cornstarch garment bag; printed with soy inks |
| End-of-life | Outsole may be separated and sent to our partner rubber recycler; wool upper composts |
6. Sizing & fit
Princess Slippers run true to women’s AU sizing. The dense fleece will compress after 2–3 wears, so a just-snug fit on first try is ideal. Half-sizes? Size down for narrow feet, up for wide.
| AU Size | US | EU | Length (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 6 | 36 | 22.3 |
| 6 | 7 | 37 | 23.1 |
| 7 | 8 | 38 | 24.0 |
| 8 | 9 | 39 | 24.8 |
| 9 | 10 | 40 | 25.6 |
| 10 | 11 | 41 | 26.4 |
7. Care instructions
-
Refresh – Air outdoors (shade) weekly; wool’s self-cleaning keratin structure releases odours.
-
Spot-clean – Dab baby-shampoo solution with a damp cloth; avoid soaking.
-
Deep-clean – Hand-wash in cool water every 4–6 months; reshape and dry away from direct heat.
-
Brush – Use a soft-bristle brush once dry to revive loft.
-
Store – In breathable cotton bag; never plastic.
Pro tip: sprinkle a teaspoon of bicarb soda inside overnight once a month, then shake out for natural deodorising.
8. Frequently asked questions
Do they overheat in summer?
Wool insulates in winter and wicks moisture in warmer months, regulating against temperature swings (see Woolmark link above). Many customers wear Princess year-round.
Can I machine-wash them?
Not recommended. Agitation + hot water can felt the wool and warp the sole. Hand-wash only.
Are they suitable for people with diabetes?
The seamless wool interior reduces friction hot-spots, but always consult your podiatrist before choosing new footwear.
Will the collar stretch out?
Satin binding and twin-needle stitching resist sagging. If you feel looseness after years of use, a bootmaker can tighten the topline for a second life.
