Welcome to the Cozy Life
HERE AT KYRGIES, WE ARE ON A MISSION TO BRING RITUAL COMFORT INTO YOUR HOME.
In Scandinavia, Japan, Thailand, and elsewhere around the world, people remove their shoes and put on slippers when they enter a home. It's a way of embracing the comfort and cozy qualities that a home provides. But in the United States, we tend to wear shoes in the house. A home is a sanctuary. We believe there is an untapped wellspring of wellbeing in the simple act of removing our outside shoes and slipping into natural indoor footwear.
The Kyrgies vision of coziness isn’t just about physical comfort; it’s about peace of mind. Kyrgies are hand-felted and produced by artisan women paid a living wage in a woman-run arts collective in Kyrgyzstan. The ancient nomadic tradition of wet felting is thousands of years old, and its renewed popularity of this soft but strong material has created social and economic opportunities for Kyrgyzstani women.
Kyrgies are for people who want to simplify and deepen their relationship with what they buy. Wearing Kyrgies means taking part in an old story and keeping it alive for future generations.
Refresh your feet and reinvigorate the artisan economy. Ritualize comfort and preserve an ancient tradition.
