While many of Calla’s slippers are made from vintage boucherouite rugs, this collection calls upon Moroccan wedding blankets, which have been commissioned in black – as opposed to the usual white – just for ABASK. These textiles hold great historical significance, intended to accompany the bride through the ceremony and into the night as a symbol of prosperity. The Niki Babouches are handcrafted in Morocco and feature sequin embellishments where coins would have traditionally been, as well as a lambskin lining and sole. Due to the unique sourcing process, every pair is different.
