Sasawashi slippers
ささ和紙 ルームシューズ
A pair of slippers created from a natural Japanese textile, Sasawashi, a combination of washi (Japanese paper) and kumazasa (a variety of bamboo grass native to Japan).
These slippers are made from Sasawashi, a unique textile that blends washi (traditional Japanese paper) with finely ground kumazasa, a bamboo grass native to Japan. Washi is a remarkably durable material, known for its thin, lightweight nature, and is used for writing paper, sliding screens, lampshades, umbrellas, and even tableware. The addition of kumazasa enhances the textile’s functionality with its antibacterial and anti-allergenic properties. This fusion results in a sustainable, lint-free fabric with exceptional absorbency and quick-drying capabilities.
Ideal for year-round wear, these slippers help keep feet fresh by absorbing moisture and preventing dampness. They are also machine washable.
Use net bag when machine washing.
Wash with similar colours.
Use neutral detergents that do not contain bleach.
Do not tumble dry.
Size : L(24cm-26.5cm) XL (27-28cm)
