Description
Unlike mass-produced items, these thong slippers are meticulously handcrafted one pair at a time by skilled artisans in Kahoku Town, Japan, a region with over 50 years of history in slipper production. The history of thongs is ancient, with their origins traceable back to waraji and zori sandals that became popular during the Heian period, over 1000 years ago. The insole, like the thongs, uses traditional Japanese tatami matting. Unlike inexpensive synthetic imitations, the tatami insole, made from natural rush grass, boasts superior moisture absorption and breathability, as well as deodorizing and antibacterial properties. It keeps your feet fresh and cool even on Singapore's hottest days. The fabric is Liberty print, world-renowned for its timeless floral art, adding an elegant touch to your interior. These Made-in-Japan slippers combine Japanese tradition and craftsmanship with British elegance.
