Where Do Slippers Come From?
Is Wearing Slippers At Home Good? 7 Best Reasons…
Loungers® in Tokyo

The Uwabaki
One Japanese tradition that I became a huge fan of was that of the Uwabaki. Uwabaki are a type of shoes or slippers that are worn indoors. Back home, most people are either barefoot in their homes or wear shoes that they would typically wear outdoors, especially if they are in public buildings. In Japanese culture, however, it is necessary to remove your shoes when you enter someone else’s home or property. Not only does this show respect, but it is also done to protect wooden floors, rugs, tatami (grass mats) and carpets from getting dirty or damaged.
Sustainability
Our commitment
As per Loungers commitment to be a sustainable business, on March 4th, 2022 in collaboration with The More Trees Campaign, we planted 500 native trees on the grounds of The Grove Hotel in Watford, UK. Reducing our environmental impact has been a top priority since day one. But now, we’re taking things further with our commitments in collaboration with the More Trees Campaign. Thank you, to all our supporters.
