Macro of handfelted wool

A revolution made of wool, soap and water

Eco-fur.
The first
of its kind.

For years we searched for a real alternative to fur. Not plastic faux-fur — that is just oil with a sad coat on. Not animal — never again.

So we made our own. Hugs Amsterdam developed the first natural alternative to fur — handfelted from wool slokken with olive soap and water, using a centuries-old technique.

That is the entire recipe. No animal. No plastic. No glue. No poison. What you get is a textile that drapes like the most decadent fur, warms like a cloud, and at the end of its long life simply returns to the earth.

Felting with olive soap

How it's made

Four ingredients.
Three days of hands.

  1. 01

    Wool slokken

    Raw fibers from European wool, untreated and unbleached.

  2. 02

    Olive soap

    A traditional vegetable soap that opens the scales of the wool.

  3. 03

    Water + warmth

    Hot water and the rhythm of hands lock the fibers permanently.

  4. 04

    Days, not minutes

    Each piece takes 2–4 full days of slow, patient work.
