Got to love the comfy slippers! Much love and #repair Special thanks to Bryans master cobbler in Talbot St for brilliant patching and repair work
Is it cats or Uggs that have 9 lives? Ask our Research + Policy Director! A simple pair of comfy slippers remind us that some things are worth keeping + fixing, especially when they hold so much sentimental value. Good for the planet, good for your wallet + good for the soul!
