Merino sheepskin slippers

The family-run company Alenka has been making slippers for 37 years, and over the decades they have come to understand that what people value most at home is comfort, warmth, and a sense of cosiness. With this in mind, they created a model that combines tradition with a contemporary aesthetic. Slippers hold a unique significance in Slovenia; taking off one’s outdoor shoes and slipping into slippers upon returning home is an everyday ritual – a feeling instinctively tied to home, relaxation, and warmth. This tradition has endured for generations and is the starting point for the story behind these merino sheepskin slippers.

The objective was to design a product that preserves this comforting sense of home while offering a modern and distinctive design. The slippers are made from natural merino sheepskin, which is soft, pleasant to the touch and naturally warm. The open-toe design gives them a light, contemporary look while making them comfortable to wear throughout the year. A leather trim around the sole adds a distinctive detail and highlights the craftsmanship. The sole is made from rubberised cork, a lightweight material suited to indoor use that provides a soft, comfortable step.

All Alenka slippers are made locally in Slovenia, by a family-run business where much of the work still carried out by hand. High-quality materials and small-batch production help preserve both quality and a sense of individuality. They believe that it is important to create products that last, are made with care and have a story to tell. More than just house slippers, the Alenka open-toe fur slippers embody Slovenian tradition, the comfort of home and generations of family expertise – a heritage the family is committed to preserve for future generations.
