Felt Slippers 54 BIDI Slippers

Spot clean with damp cloth. Do not submerge in water. A suede brush may be useful. 

The felt is 100% natural wool and is not blended with plastic fibres, so it does not have the smooth appearance of boiled wool blends sometimes used in similar slippers. As a result, as with all 100% wool fabrics, a small amount of pilling is normal. This reduces over time and can be easily removed with a debobbling method such as those detailed here.

To compost, first remove and dispose of thread.

Please treat with care. Use a microcrystalline wax polish such as Renaissance Wax every month to protect the wood and stop it drying out. Extreme temperature changes can cause cracking in the wood finish. The wax should be applied evenly and lightly over the wooden surface then lightly buffed with a smooth lint-free cloth to give a sheen. 

Our fountain pen nib is a medium size, suitable for both right- and left-handed writers. It comes with an ink converter (that can be refilled from a bottle of ink) as well as two ‘standard international’ ink cartridges (one loose in the pen barrel and other in the box). Cartridges can be easily replaced by unscrewing from the centre of the pen.

Our ballpoint pen comes with a Parker style refill already installed. To replace the refill, gently unscrew the metal end near the nib from the main pen barrel; remove the spent refill, fit a new refill and gently screw back together. Please ensure that the nib of the pen is clicked out of sight when you are not writing as the click mechanism protects the nib.

Consumables are readily available from high street or online stationery suppliers.
