What it is?
The open-back, traditional "Babouche" slipper is a throwback to 17th century French courtiers whose main cares were luxury and appearance. With the exaggerated point at the toes and the particular softness of the leather, these slippers were popular centuries ago and the style was recently featured as a Vogue must-have. These house slippers are made with strong but soft goat leather to provide ultimate comfort and durability. Some things are better with time... these slippers will mold to the shape of your foot. Packaged in an organza drawstring pouch, these make the perfect girl-friend gift.
