Boxwood Topiary Embroidered Waffle-Weave Slippers by Jacaranda Living

Boxwood topiary embroidery gives these closed-toe waffle-weave slippers a small decorative detail. A padded footbed and vinyl sole complete an easy slip-on shape, with the pair designed to nest together for packing.

“I would check the size choice before packing the pair, then tuck them together so they take up less room in the bag.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Maker / Heritage

Jacaranda Living began with a basket of samples. After moving from South Africa to Massachusetts, needlework enthusiast Cathy Deale offered to show local Zulu embroiderers’ linens to shops in Boston and Wellesley. The first orders, and then the reorders, gave the work a new audience. Cathy and Martin Deale founded the company in 2004, naming it for South Africa’s lilac-flowering jacaranda tree. The business now works with producers in several countries, using both hand and machine embroidery. Its character remains in the small textile details: a botanical motif, an open hemstitch or a border that makes an ordinary household piece feel considered.
