The Pomobuk slippers have been created as a collaboration footwear option from Baabuk and Pomoca that aims to offer a comfortable, stylish and sustainable way to maintain optimal comfort when lounging around the house.
The slippers are made with a premium woolen upper that is crafted in Nepal by local craftspeople, while the sole is made from up cycled ski skin material from Pomoca. This helps to divert the material out of the landfill and offer wearers of the slippers enhanced durability when relaxing at home. The slippers each come with a randomized sole color to provide consumers with a surprise upon arrival that is either vibrant or a little more laid-back.
The Pomobuk slippers are designed in Switzerland and have a seamless build to maximize comfort for the wearer.
