MAKER OF CUSTOM SHEEPSKIN BOOTS & SLIPPERS

 

Hello, I’m Xanthe, founder of Xanthe Anna, a small independent company making sheepskin boots and shearling slippers in Wales. I use natural and low impact materials in my designs.

As a fan of slow-fashion I believe in buying clothes that are loved and mended over and again.  To help my customers get the longest use out of their boots, I offer a sheepskin boot care guide and repair service. I’m dedicated to making the best environmental choices available in order to create eco-friendly slippers and boots.

Sewing since my childhood, I began making sheepskin boots in 2008.  I enjoy my work and love playing with colours.  Paying attention to the details I create beautiful, comfortable footwear you will love and cherish.

I keep a small flock of sheep on a smallholding in Wales.  Through my experience on the farm I have developed an understanding and respect for sheepskin. This has informed my designs and skills at the sewing machine.  I work from a small workshop near Llanboidy, Carmarthenshire.
