  • Description

    The Chocolate Suede Mule Slippers have been cut from the 726 pattern. With its backless silhouette, the mule is perfectly suited for travel, weekends away, or simply unwinding at home. Part of our indoor slipper collection, the soft soled Mule is constructed using the traditional hand turned method. The design features a discreet yet elegant tonal fabric binding while ensuring comfort. 

    The cushioned satin quilted lining combined with the suede sole ensures maximum comfort. Crafted on the 7077 last, it features a distinctive square toe and open back, the Mule Slipper has been designed for relaxation and ease.  

    Our Chocolate Suede Mule Slippers are an Made-to-Order style, so please expect a 4 week lead time.

  • Size & fit

    Designed as a traditional style for both men and women, the Mule has a naturally cushioned cork insole which is paired with a soft suede sole, creating a foundation of quiet luxury underfoot. Lightweight yet supportive, it embodies the understated refinement of a handmade English slipper.

    If you have a high instep or wider foot, we recommend going for a half size larger.

Expertly woven into Norfolk's shoemaking heritage, Bowhill & Elliott Turn slippers are made with comfort and elegance in mind.

Brought to Norwich in the 14th century by European settlers known as the ‘Strangers’, specialising in weaving and shoemaking. Turn slippers are a timeless addition to your wardrobe.

This centuries-old technique involves stitching two pieces of material together and made inside-out before expertly hand-turning, to disguise the closed line to the inside of the shoe. A testament to the enduring craftsmanship that has defined Bowhill & Elliott for generations.

We are proud to be the last shoemakers in the county continuing these time-honoured techniques today.

Established in 1874 in Norwich, England, as a bespoke shoemaker, we evolved into a dedicated slipper manufacturer in the 1960s. Our historic home at 65 London Street, Norwich, England, remains the same address where Obadiah Bowhill first set foot over the threshold, all those years ago

From bespoke shoemakers to a global brand, Bowhill & Elliott has become synonymous with exceptional quality, worn by everyone from royalty to music icons.

Situated in the Norwich Lanes, our four-floor building embodies our heritage. We continue to ‘make out the back, sell out the front’ with retail space, our newly renovated slipper lounge, office space and two workshops at the heart of our operations. In our workshops, eight skilled shoemakers, meticulously craft each pair by hand, using the same time-honoured techniques passed down through generations. Every detail including intricate embroidery, is carefully executed by hand using traditional gold work techniques that combine wires and threads to create unparalleled depth and beauty.
