As a Scandinavian brand sustainability has always been a major focus for the team at Shepherd and is evident in every stage of their production process.

Shepherd slippers are assembled by their own skilled craftsmen and to this day are still mainly produced by hand. Most of Shepherd of Sweden’s products are constructed in Estonia and there is also some production in Macedonia. When it comes to the materials used Shepherd ensure all suppliers follow their code of animal treatment and code of conduct to ensure a sustainable production process.
If you take proper care of your sheepskin products then they should last you for years to come. As Sheepskin is dirt repellent often it will only take a shake and an air in a humid atmosphere to freshen up your Shepherd slippers. If you are looking to clean your sheepskin slippers we suggest using lukewarm watter an a mild detergent. Once you are completed cleaning you should stretch and rub the skin when damp before letting the slippers dry in a warm room. You should never dry your sheepskin slippers on a radiator and once the slippers are dry your should brush them with a soft brush to restore their original shine.
Sheepskin is an incredible natural material thanks to its self cleaning properties. Sheepskin is self regulating in terms of temperature meaning it’s perfect for year round use and it also absorbs sweat and releases it into the air much faster than synthetic materials.
