Competition | Win Glerups for the Whole Family

Iona Bower August 21, 2024

Treat your toes to pure woollen footwear from Danish brand glerups, including the stylish Langdal design

Walking in through the front door and popping on your slippers is one of life’s simplest pleasures. Nanny Glerup certainly thought so, so when she handcrafted her first pair of slippers using natural wool from her own beloved Gotland sheep, friends and family were suitably impressed and wanted in on the action… and glerups was born.

Over three decades on, the Danish brand is fiercely committed to upholding strict environmental and ethical standards and is proud of its Project Zero Waste philosophy, upcycling leftover materials in the production of new glerups. For example, leather scraps are used to make the company logo that adorns every pair of slippers, shoes or boots, while its insoles are made from leftover wool. Other natural materials that have been carefully selected include coir, natural rubber and organic cotton.

“We work purposefully to use all bits and pieces from our carefully selected production materials,” says glerups co-owner, Allan Timm. “This has always been Nanny’s philosophy and is now deeply integrated into our DNA.”

The brand’s popularity continues to grow, especially with the recent launch of the Langdal, a stylish lace-up shoe. Made from 100% pure wool, soft, chrome-free leather and coconut fibres – a waste product from the food industry – the Langdal is designed to be worn all year round.

In celebration of the Langdal, we’re offering one lucky reader the chance to win glerups for all the family, worth up to £450. Whether you prefer cosy toes or out-and-about comfort, the whole family can enjoy beautiful woollen footwear, handcrafted with ethical and natural materials. So, best foot forward and enter our competition today…

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
