Focus On: Velvet Slippers

There are times when the humble slipper just won't do. When only velvet, hand-made slippers will suffice - especially ones with your initials embroidered in fine gold thread. Never felt that way? Neither had we, until we received a pair embroidered with our own initials. This luxury gift suddenly felt like something we just couldn't do without. Granted, they make quite a decadent gift - but for someone special they really do fit the bill. The traditional men's velvet slippers and house shoes we sell here at Oliver Brown are hand-made in England, with a satin quilt lining and a leather sole and heel. They're expertly cut and lasted by hand using traditional techniques. Plus, with the option to personalise them with embroidery, each pair will truly be one-of-a-kind. We offer initial embroidery with up to four letters - either in gold or silver thread. Or you can choose from a wide range of motifs, from martini glasses to peacocks and lions. We also offer a more bespoke service if you have your own crest or motif you'd like to see adorning your slippers. Just ask!

So, will they be making it on to your Christmas wish-list? It's time to start dropping hints...
