What to know about Kyrgies
One product, made one way
The whole line is hand-felted wool house shoes — mules, closed-back slippers, boots and hand-woven styles — soled in vegetable-tanned leather or natural rubber.
A named factory, not a supplier
Every pair is wet-felted by hand at Tumar, a women-owned and women-staffed factory in Bishkek, using Kyrgyz felting techniques and local sheep's wool.
$79 with a repair path
Core slippers sit around $79, and the brand backs them with a repair-and-upcycle program plus 1% for the Planet membership.
