Model Soggie is a soft baby slipper made from merino sheepskin. The soft fleece on the inside keeps little feet comfortably warm, while the supple suede exterior moves naturally with the foot. The practical hook-and-loop fastening makes the slipper easy to put on and take off and helps it stay comfortably in place. Also nice as a maternity gift!
In spring, thousands of lambs are born on Texel. Sometimes a lamb is unable to drink from its mother and has to be bottle-fed. On Texel, we call such a lamb a “soggie”. Just as a soggie receives a little extra care and warmth, this soft slipper keeps your baby’s feet wonderfully warm.
Previously known as model Biba.

The slipper is made from real merino sheepskin; the soft wool on the inside of the slipper, the supple suede on the outside and bottom.
About sheepskin
The slipper is made from real merino sheepskin; the soft wool on the inside of the slipper, the supple suede on the outside and bottom. No synthetic materials, but natural quality.
Sheep's wool breathes, regulates moisture and can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture. This allows you to wear these slippers comfortably with bare feet, warm without feeling clammy, and thanks to the natural lanolin in the wool, your feet remain soft and cared for.
To preserve your sheepskin slippers, we recommend spraying them with a protective spray (not mousse) before first use and then regularly. This protects the product against water and dirt. We recommend Collonil Active Universal protector. Please note: sheepskin products cannot be washed!
Voor het behoud van je schapenvacht pantoffels en wanten adviseren wij om deze vóór het eerste gebruik - en vervolgens regelmatig - in te sprayen met een beschermende spray (geen mousse). Dit beschermt het product tegen water en vuil. Wij adviseren hiervoor de Collonil Active Universal protector of de ShoeSustain Universal protector spray te gebruiken. Let op: producten van schapenvacht kunnen niet worden gewassen!

About sheepskin
All our fur products are made of sheepskin/leather. Characteristic of sheepskin is the supple and soft structure. This makes it ideal for our comfortable slippers, gloves and mittens. Sheep wool works moisture-regulating and breathable and has the natural property that it can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture without feeling wet or clammy. You can wear sheepskin slippers with bare feet.
Sheepskin is more vulnerable than cowhide. If the products are bought too small, pressure points can occur, causing the leather to wear out or tear sooner or - in the case of gloves - the seams to come loose. It is therefore very important that you choose the right size.
Maintenance tip
To preserve your sheepskin slippers, we recommend spraying them with a protective spray (not mousse) before first use and then regularly. This protects the product against water and dirt. We recommend Collonil Active Universal protector for this. Please note: sheepskin products cannot be washed!
Origin
Since Texelana has no production capacity on Texel, all our sheepskin products are made by small-scale sewing workshops in Europe. Of course, according to EU guidelines.
