Gift inspiration #2

The making of Huopaliike Lahtinen Finnish felt slippers and boots is an ancient art that came originally from Russian artisans. Made from 100% wool, the slippers begin life at twice their final size and then fulled, or shrunk, onto lasts using steam. Available in three colours; who wouldn't be delighted to find a pair under the Christmas tree? (Or warming by the fire...) Sizes are generous; we recommend that you choose one size smaller than your normal shoe size.  £49.95, shop online here
