MINI Loafers Slippers
Description
All our products are handmade TO ORDER. We do not have any ready-to-ship products. Therefore, please allow a production time of 1-3 weeks depending on demand. Feel free to contact us for a precise idea of the production time.
Beautiful new SHORT version of our classic little booties, still hand-crocheted, made with soft 100% natural, renewable, and biodegradable Peruvian sheep and alpaca wool. Their soles are, as always, made from genuine leather scraps lined with sheepskin. Not only are these little booties adorable, they are also non-slip for little feet learning to walk and stay very well in place thanks to a small cotton cord. This model, although more discreet and less warm, has been designed to fit little feet just as well. However, we particularly love it for toddlers: 2 to 5T!
Our exclusive color wool Les petits Tousi is composed of 90% sheep and 10% Peruvian alpaca. Moreover, the carefully selected natural wool keeps feet warm during winter - while breathing very well - making them perfect for all seasons!
Available in sizes newborn to 5T. Please consult the Size Chart tab to choose the right size for your child. In case of hesitation, choose a larger size. The size 6-18m is larger than the classic 6-12m.
All our products are handmade in Quebec, by moms and women of all ages!
P.S. As these booties have been knitted with high-quality natural wool, it is normal for them to form small pills after a few uses. Over time, this will completely go away. Otherwise, you can easily use a small lint razor and they will look like new again!
Colors may vary slightly.
SURPRISE color: you will receive a random color that may not be available anywhere in the shop. Feel free to indicate your preferences in the NOTE section of the cart. We will try to accommodate requests if we can, but they are not guaranteed. Please note that these are only SOLID colors and there is no PINK.

Care
REGULAR CARE
To help your slippers last longer, we recommend caring for them regularly with these simple tips:
- Regularly remove pills with a small fabric shaver (which you can find here)!
- Carefully remove any excess wool that may have accumulated inside your slippers by hand.
- Make sure there's a small knot at the end of your cords. This will prevent the cords from fraying. If this has happened to yours, you can get new pairs here.
CLEANING
Sheep's wool is antibacterial, so there's no need to wash the slippers unless they've been soaked in coffee, vomit, or mud. In any case, it's important to hand-wash them in cold water, with a mild soap (ideally a wool soap) and avoid soaking them. Heat or soaking (even in cold water) can cause the wool to felt, which would completely change the size and finish of the slippers (or headbands or hats). If you do want to wash them, here's how:
1. Remove the cords.
2. Gently hand-wash by running a little cold water over the area to be cleaned and softly rubbing it with Marseille soap or traditional soap. Rinse quickly without soaking. You can also use a soap specially formulated for wool, which you can find here.
3. Leave to air-dry for 24 hours.
4. Remove the fuzz using a fabric shaver, which you can find at large stores or here.
5. Reinsert the cords.
And there you go, your slippers have regained their youthful look!
