Afghanistan Earthquake 1st Sept 2025

A magnitude 6 earthquake has hit eastern Afghanistan near the Pakistan border, killing more than 800 people, according to the Taliban-run government there. Several villages have been "completely destroyed.

 However we want to help and know that you do too.

 We therefore feel that the best way to help is to make an initial donation then to make a futhur donation for every pair of Slipper Socks sold between now and Christmas.

So buy a pair of slipper socks and help us help Afghanistan rebuild.

This year for the first time we are offering a  fully vegan slipper sock, it comes with a faux leather vegan sole which is soft but handwearing on carpets and solid floors, and a sock that is knitted from a lovely soft yarn, that is hypoallergenic, not itchy and non scratchy!

They are hand knitted by women who have been widowed in the conflict, buying our slipper socks really helps them earn an income and rebuild their lives.  Things have changed quite a bit under the new regime and many of the women who make our slipper socks have been internally displaced, so it could be a while until we get any more shipments from Afghanistan. 

Our Slipper Socks are the perfect winter alternative to cold feet! They are very versatile, they can be worn around the house as slippers or in your wellies as socks! 

 They come in four sizes from  small to extra large;

A small size is around UK size 2- 4, medium UK size 5 - 7, large UK size 8 - 10, XL UK size 11+. 

As they are handmade patterns and colour do vary! We have divided our stock into five groups;

Warm Colours such as Reds, Oranges & Yellows

Earthy Colours such as Greens & Browns

Cool Colours such as Blues, Greys & Black and White

Bright Colours to make you smile such as Bright Yellows, Pinks, Greens and Contrasting Colour Combinations

Muted Colors such as Dark Browns, Dark Greys, Dark Bergundy and Muted Colour Combinations

As they are handknitted and all different this can be a bit of an arbitary distinction so if you are after a particular colour send us an email with your preferences.  We will send you the best match from our stock.
