White Calla Lily Embroidered Waffle-Weave Slippers by Jacaranda Living
White calla-lily embroidery adds a floral detail to these closed-toe waffle-weave slippers. A padded footbed and vinyl sole complete the slip-on form, making a compact pair for home or a travel bag.
“I would keep the pair where they can air after use, rather than closing damp slippers into a travel 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.
