Created in the first years of the 20th century in Friuli, a region located to the north of Venice, the “papusse” or “babbucce”, as they still call them there, were pauper shoes, made of scraps of material with soles made from bicycle tyres. Their ecologic soul makes them really contemporary, so much so that I can say in some way the “Pantuffe” are looking to the future.
