SAPPHIRE WHISPER

“I noticed people wearing my designs with everything from black tie to denim,” says Percy Steinhart of the velvet slippers he put on the fashion map with his footwear company, Stubbs & Wootton. Being embraced by East Coast blue bloods since 1993 (Town & Country praised the brand right after its launch), Percy has revamped the traditional image of the house slipper. He has given his whimsical and playful styles a modern edge to update these fashion must-haves for the new generation.

Original embroidered designs that became Stubbs & Wootton classics include devils, skull with cross bones, palm trees, and customized family crests stitched into the basic black, navy, brown, or custom-colored velvet. Experimenting with new imagery and colors, the collection now offers styles varying from broken hearts, to the American flag against a digital camouflage print, to skulls with jewels– all juxtaposed against the classic velvets and linens. The result is footwear that can be perfectly paired with tailored trousers, jeans or Bermuda shorts.

Taking the brand to the next level, Stubbs & Wootton has gone interactive and customers can now “Build Your Own Slipper” on the S&W website. This incredible feature allows people all over the world the ability to design their own handcrafted slipper down to the logo, color, and fabric, from the comfort of their home. This unique capability is another example of the quality and personalization that sets the company apart from competitors in the marketplace. Fans of the brand include fashion icons such as Mary Kate Olsen, Sarah Jessica Parker, Denzel Washington and model Agyness Deyn.
