Oh hello there Baboosha – the Parisian glamour and style with the exoticness of Peru!

Beautifully designed in Paris and handmade by local artisans in the majestic Andes Mountains of Peru. Comfortable, playful and reminds us that simple moments of play while lounging at home are important. Your Baboosha will be an instant hit pyjama party and can be worn alone, as a couple, or with friends. After a long day, you will want to get home and wear your Baboosha!

ILD. How did your brand begin?

I had the idea to build a luxury fur slipper brand for more than 10 years. My original business plan was 10 years ago when I started working on the idea of Baboosha. In 2016 I began researching and sourcing Ethical Fur Alpaca, high-end fashion designers, brand building and positioning, doing test shots and e-commerce solutions.

ILD. What have been the highest and lowest points on your journey so far?

The highest point hasn’t happened yet, we are continuing to climb in every sense. Monthly online sales are increasing, retail partners are increasing and we launch new colors every few months. We are continually on the rise. I prefer not to discuss our lowest points so far.
