Handmade multicoloured cotton and rubber slipper shoe. The upper fabric is velvet, and the sole is made of hard-wearing and weather-resistant rubber. The slipper features a striped cotton lining.
Designed and sold exclusively by Muzungu Sisters, our Ikat Venetian slippers feature handwoven cotton Ikat fabric we hand-picked for this project from the glorious wares of a cooperative of weavers in Andhra Pradesh in India. Venetian slippers or ‘friulane’ were traditionally worn by countrymen in the Friuli countryside post World War II. They were then appropriated by gondoliers in Venice who chose to wear them so as not to ruin the paint of their precious gondolas. Ours are produced by the finest artisans in the Friuli region. Handmade in Italy.
