"Sarajevska" slippers are handmade and handstitched. The embroidery is done also solely by hand, and every pair comes with different embroidery, which makes every pair truly unique and one of a kind.
The lining is the finest sheep and calf leather while the upper is made from 100% cotton plush, embroidered with golden threads and beads. The embroidery technique used to make these slippers is the same technique that has been used for centuries to decorate ladies' vests of Bosnian traditional outfits. The thread used is woven in-house by our staff since it can't be bought commercially anywhere.
