About Padraig- Who they are now:
Helen made her first pair of slippers for
her young son in the winter of 1977, they had a hand cut sheepskin sole
and a crocheted upper made with hand spun raw wool, in a few years they
would become known as the Original Padraig Slipper. Since Helen started
selling her wears at local craft markets, the slipper line and the
company have grown and evolved. The slippers now come in numerous colour
ways and styles and are sold in boutiques across Canada, the United
States and Europe.
Though our company has expanded, employing more than thirty
local artisans and support staff, we are still independently owned and
operated and our premises remain in North Vancouver, ensuring product
quality and support of the local community. The slippers too remain
largely the same; they are still hand crocheted and hand dyed in small
lots, insuring each pair is one of a kind.
Our tagline reads, Return Home, we chose this to
remind ourselves of what is important and the core values that are at
the heart of Padraig Cottage Ind.
To produce original quality products made by
skilled artisans, using
natural materials while accepting the importance of both the
community
and the environment.
