A note from the Juta team… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We know that it’s a strange time right now, and that life is going to look a little different for the next few weeks or months. We wish everyone strength, community and support. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We've been a little quiet lately - we've been adjusting to the changes and making sure everyone is as safe and supported as possible. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’ve postponed our upcoming workshops, and offered everyone booked on them the chance to reschedule onto any upcoming workshop they want for free. We will make sure that everyone who has booked gets a chance to make their own shoes with us as soon as we can. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’ve also suspended shoe sales from our shop, because we don't have a safe way to continue to access our supplies and postal services. For those who have been eyeing up a pair of spring sandals, don’t worry - we’ll be back as soon as it’s safe, and in the meantime you can always buy a gift card! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’ll be continuing to support our makers and teachers for as long as this situation continues, along with their families, however we can. We’re really lucky to be in a safe financial position so we can keep paying our teachers even though we can’t run our workshops. If you’d like to support us in the meantime, you can buy a workshop gift card so that you can make your own shoes as soon as we’re up and running. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For those of you isolated at home, we thank you for making difficult choices to protect yourself and other people. For those of you who still have to go out for caring responsibilities or work, we wish you safety and support. May we all get through this stronger.

Want to make a pair of our fluffy vegan fur slippers? Well, there's a chance coming up this year... we're heading on the road in a few months to bring a slipper-making workshop to a town just outside London as part of an amazing craft festival. Want to know where? You'll have to stay tuned to find out...

When we're working on a new design, there's often little surprising things that we have to adjust for different materials. When we got this amazing fluffy vegan fur donated to us, we knew that we wanted to make slippers out of it. But when we first tried, the fluff was so much that it was difficult to stitch the edges down, and bunched up so much inside the slipper that the fit was too small. But, determined to make the cosiest slipper we could, we kept doing - Aliyah suggested giving the edges of the fur a little 'haircut' so that it's easier to sew and the patterns keep the same sizing. And it works! So now each time we make a pair of vegan fur slippers we do a little trim around the sides of the pattern. Try a pair for yourself and see!

It is SO cold in London! We have the heaters turned all the way up in the studio, and we're constantly sipping on cups of delicious @hackneyherbal tea to keep us warm. It's proper winter now! If your feet are feeling the chill, we've still got our super-soft, super-warm vegan fur slippers in our shop - guaranteed to keep your toes and your heart warm :)

Looking for a way to slow down, reconnect with making, and meet new people this winter? Join us for a series of shoemaking workshops at @queenofhoxtonldn. We'll be taking over their rooftop tent, this year all dressed up as the Wonderful World of Oz, and showing you how to hand-stitch your own slippers from reclaimed leather. We've got all tones red (like this chestnut, or a bright pink) on March 1st, and everything green (seafoam, pine, turquoise, you name it) on Feb 2nd. Come along for a Sunday afternoon of stitching, relaxing, and creativity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photo by @kanahaya_alam
