Hi! Welcome to
Polliwogs! My name is Olivia and I am
the owner and creator of my very own line of soft-soled shoes made entirely
from recycled materials. I am a
stay-at-home mom to a beautiful little girl who is 3.5 years old and a handsome little boy who is 18 months.
My recycled slippers came to be nearly three years ago when I
began making them for my own daughter.
I had so much fun sewing them, I decided to design a pattern that would
allow me to expand my sizes to meet the needs of my growing daughter and be
able to offer them to other cold little feet!
After such a wonderful response from other moms, I decided to open an
online boutique…and so you have it…Polliwogs!!!
The majority of my slippers are made from recycled
wool…meaning they had a former life as a sweater, and are lined in recycled
fleece. The soles are constructed of
leather leftover by factories and upholstery shops, but are sometimes made from Toughtek, which is wonderful non-slip, super durable fabric perfect for slippers soles. Occasionally I offer all leather shoes or slippers made from
fleece and cotton.
I hope you enjoy these little shoes as much as I do!
