🌺 Towards a quiet and elegant life
These slippers are surprisingly quiet and "silent." The vibrant colors of Africa brighten up your everyday life. These Japanese-quality room slippers are made by a Tokyo brand that was founded 77 years ago.
A quiet life creates peace of mind
"The sound of slippers bothers me when my family members are studying or working..."
"I want more stylish slippers for guests."
"I'm looking for slippers that won't tire my feet and can be used for a long time."
The KARL&C African Ankara Slippers Single Flower are the answer to your needs.
This product combines the African fabric "Ankara," sold in the floating slum of Makoko, Nigeria, with the craftsmanship of "Nanasho," a Tokyo brand founded 77 years ago. Surprisingly quiet, gentle on the feet, and above all, beautiful. The reliable quality of Japanese-made products and the vibrant colors of Africa will elevate your everyday life.
Surprisingly quiet design means no need to worry about your family
The felt material completely blocks out noise when rubbing against the floor. This allows you to move freely without worrying about noise, even when coming home late at night or doing housework early in the morning. It also prevents noise from disturbing your children while they study or your husband while he works from home.
Moderate elasticity that is gentle on the feet and reduces fatigue
The perfect balance of soft felt and insoles reduces strain on your feet. Unlike memory foam, there's no need to worry about them wearing out, and they'll remain comfortable even after three years of use. They're also great for preventing foot fatigue, even during long hours of housework or standing work.
With anti-slip features, it is safe for elderly people
To eliminate the drawback of felt being slippery, we've applied a non-slip coating to the bottom of this toy. It provides a firm grip on flooring and reduces the risk of falling. It also makes a great gift for parents or elderly family members.
The vibrant colors of Africa brighten up your everyday life
This piece is made from African fabric called "Ankara," which is sold in the floating slum of Makoko, Nigeria. Single Flower is said to represent timeless beauty , and will brighten up any visitor the moment they open the front door. It will brighten up your monotonous everyday life with a splash of vivid color.
The reliable quality of "Shichisho", a Tokyo brand founded 77 years ago
The "Shichisho" brand from Tokyo Sangyo Co., Ltd. is also sold to high-end department stores. Made in Japan with unique know-how, the felt tightens with wear and lasts longer. We promise a high-quality fit that sets us apart from cheap overseas products.
A one-of-a-kind design that is unique and special
The patterns of African fabric vary from one to another depending on how it is cut during manufacturing. You will never get the same design again, so you will have a special pair just for you. There is no guarantee that they will be re-produced once they are sold out, so if you find a design you like, be sure to get it now.

💬 Customer testimonials
"I was surprised at how quiet it was! I bought it for my husband who comes home late at night, and it means that neither I nor my children will be woken up. The design is gorgeous, and it looks like it could be used for guests too. It has a non-slip surface, so I plan to give it to my mother as a gift."
"They're neither too soft nor too hard, and are just the right comfort. The memory foam slippers I used before wore out quickly, but these are still as comfortable as ever, even after a year. The African pattern is even more beautiful than I imagined, and they brighten up the entranceway. It's killing two birds with one stone because it contributes to society at the same time."
"I bought these as a gift for my mother. They have a non-slip surface, so they're safe, and she was especially pleased, saying, 'They're quiet, so they make me feel elegant.' The fact that they're made in Japan is also a plus point, as it gives me confidence. I'm thinking of buying another pair for myself."
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
▼ Q: How do I choose the size?
A: M size fits up to approximately 24.5cm, and L size fits up to approximately 26.5cm. Please choose your size based on your usual shoe size.
▼ Q: Is it really silent?
A: Yes, the felt material almost completely blocks out the noise caused by friction with the floor. However, there may be some noise depending on how you walk and the floor material, but it is much quieter than regular slippers.
▼ Q: How effective is the anti-slip feature?
A: The bottom is treated with a non-slip coating, so it grips firmly on flooring. However, it becomes slippery on wet floors, so please refrain from using it near water. Also, if the non-slip coating is too strong, it can make you trip easily, so we are particular about making sure that the grip is just right.
▼ Q: Please tell me how to care for it.
A: African fabrics may lose their color when wet, so please do not use a washing machine. If they get dirty, wipe them with a tightly wrung cloth and let them dry. Spraying the outside with a waterproof spray will help prevent stains and color fading.
▼ Q: Is it possible that the design may differ from the photo?
A: The placement of the pattern on each African fabric varies depending on how it is cut during manufacturing. While the overall color tone and motif will be the same, the pattern may appear slightly different from the photo. Please note this in advance. This is also part of the charm of each unique design.
▼ Q: Is gift wrapping available?
A: Yes, we offer free gift wrapping. Please indicate "gift wrapping required" when placing your order. This is the perfect gift for someone special, such as for Mother's Day or a birthday.
