What is Tofvel?

Tofvel is a footwear brand from the Netherlands specialising in handmade slippers of natural wool felt. It runs webshops for the Dutch, German and English speaking markets.

Products and positioning

The range covers slippers for women, men and children in several styles, including classic wool slippers, high slippers, slip-ons and models with a hard sole. Uppers are made from 100 percent natural wool felt from freely grazing sheep, and the wool is washed by hand without chemicals.

  • Soles in vegetable tanned calf leather or partly recycled rubber
  • Solvent free glue
  • Styles for women, men and kids

Production takes place in a small handicraft workshop in Kathmandu, Nepal, where the felt is formed and finished by hand.

Distribution

Tofvel sells through its own online shops in the Netherlands, Germany and other markets, and lists stockists through a store page on its website.

Why it matters
