Finding Comfort

EcoLuxSlippers 1024x682 Finding Comfort

Looking for comfortable travel clothing and accessories? Then try a pair of Ecolux slipper boots by UK designer Samantha Holmes.

Many travelers find comfort on-the-road with comfortable clothing and accessories. We?re huge fans of wearing wool shawls and scarves on flights, train rides and road trips.

From chilly mountain holidays to cottage getaways, you?ll likely be comfortable in Ecolux slipper boots (above) and other designs from the Ecolux Collection by Samantha Holmes.

Based on the west coast of Scotland, the designer?s collection of gifts and fashion accessories is made with baby alpaca, bamboo fibres and Peruvian EcoWool.

Holmes works with artisans in Peru who hand craft the luxury products, helping sustain Peruvian small producer groups, family businesses and home workers.

Her range of chunky hand knit homeware and lifestyle gifts include slippers boots, slipper socks, sloppy snoods, cushions, throws and hotties.

The Peruvian EcoWool is 100% natural (without bleach or dyes) yarn spun from Andean Highland wool into earthy brown, grey and white colors.

Holmes blends baby alpaca yarn (70%) with bamboo fibre (30%) for it resulting silky softness, lustre and drape in cardigans, shawls and scarves.

The bamboo is desirable because its strong, flexible, renewable and biodegradable, naturally antimicrobial and grown free of pesticides.
