Draper & Co Ltd was established in 1937 and is still owned by the same family. Our factory is based in the south west of England in Glastonbury, which is traditionally the centre of the UK’s sheepskin industry dating back a thousand years. Four generations of the Draper family have run the business, and we are now the oldest manufacturers of sheepskin footwear in the United Kingdom. We specialise in high quality sheepskin slippers, boots and accessories in a wide range of designs which are sold throughout the world. We have been making sheepskin footwear for over 85 years and the company is still owned by the Draper family. There is evidence of leathermaking on our site dating back to 1886 and the Glastonbury area itself has been famous for sheepskin since the 12th century AD when the monks of Glastonbury Abbey started tanning skins. We use traditional techniques to make our sheepskin boots and footwear, which have been passed down through many generations. We offer a wide range of sheepskin products including sheepskin gloves and sheepskin lined slippers and boots too. Each pair is individually handcrafted, and will take around four weeks to make. Our skilled craftsmen have a lifetime of experience working with sheepskin and leather, with many generations of the same local families having worked in our factory.

I bought my wife a pair of Lilly womens sheepskin mule slippers for Christmas, and she loves them. Unfortunately the lining of one began to wear through at the heel. I contacted Drapers and they sorted it out immediately, sending a new pair with no quibbles. Excellent customer service.

I ordered a pair of slippers that arrived a day early. They were not the right fit for me so I immediately used the freepost return service to exchange them. I received the new ones 3 days later. Impressive service. These are my second pair of slippers because the quality is so good

I recently bought the women’s shearling boots along with ankle boot slippers for myself and my husband. Most helpful guy spoke to me on the phone about preordering etc and took my boots order there and then as out of stock - they arrived within a week and are amazing. I then ordered slippers for us both and husbands came and were too tight. Returned them at Drapers expense using the returns included in my order and requested the larger size. The return and replacement were all done within a week, much to our surprise. They are wonderful and warm and snug and ideal for this cold weather. My husband suffers with cold feet and uses rechargeable insoles and has plenty of room to put these in as they settle down. Highly recommended and well worth the money 😊

Just bought my first pair of Belinda slippers in the gorgeous regal purple. They are beautiful, perfectly fitting and so wonderfully warm. They also arrived within 48 hours. Definitely the best pair of slippers I've ever had....far better than my *ggs. Christmas for my Canadian relatives is sorted!

Very poor experience (not as pictured, poorly designed, manufacturing defects) & the review I wrote on their site either never appeared or was taken down. I strongly advise looking elsewhere. Update 13/2/23: As requested below, I contacted them on 2/2/23. I've received no response to my e-mail. Clearly they're more interested in appearing helpful to negate a bad review than in actually being helpful.
