Isotoner Slippers
Quality, comfort, innovation, and timeless style are the foundation of Isotoner slippers. In designing for this heritage brand, my goal was to modernize the product while honoring its legacy. I incorporated sustainable innovations that encourage feel-good purchases, aimed to provide effortless comfort with every step, and crafted styles that our customers could envision themselves wearing effortlessly.
Water Concious Slippers
The Spring ‘22 Clean Water Collection was designed with the challenge of using as little water as possible, while still delivering a stylish, high-quality, and comfortable range of slippers.
This collection incorporates Bloom technology, which replaces a percentage of petroleum in the outsole with algae bloom. This innovation helps return clean water to habitats and reduces harmful CO2 emissions.
The ripple-quilted uppers feature a playful mix of undyed GOTS-certified organic cotton terry, jersey, and canvas. I leveraged the natural color variations of the greige goods to create striking textures and subtle color blocking.
The variety of silhouettes and the breathable, moisture-wicking nature of the cotton fabrics were carefully selected to encourage year-round styling.
Fresh Takes on Classics
With renewed interest in outdoor tourism, it was the perfect time to refresh our decade-long best-selling 'Woodlands' collection. This microsuede assortment of indoor-outdoor-friendly slippers is defined by its simple design details, elevated plush socks, and spills.
The Rory and Rae Collections offered premium comfort through familiar materials, but with more modern, multigenerational design elements. The exaggerated fur cuffs and spills serve as clear comfort cues, complemented by Isotoner’s 360 memory foam inserts for added support.
These style updates also include an eco-conscious touch: all upper materials are made from GRS-certified 100% rPET.
Special attention to details like antique nickel-finished hardware, elevated seaming, and faux suede ties enhances our heritage material story. The new clay-tone palette softens the traditionally darker collection, offering a fresh take.
Perfectly Plush Best Seller
Similar to base layers and lounge categories, slippers rely heavily on core styles that can endure for multiple seasons—2, 4, 6, or more. The Fiona Collection was designed with this in mind, while also offering a more youthful aesthetic to expand the brand's demographic.
Successfully, this Fall ‘22 style continues to be a best-seller as we enter the ‘26 design season. Its plush feel, clean colors, and fresh platform construction appeal to a broad audience with a playful yet sophisticated style.
The curly Berber clog and double-strap slide feature 100% GRS-certified recycled polyester uppers, thick memory foam inserts, and a glued indoor-outdoor TPR outsole with 15% recycled rubber for enhanced sustainability.
Faux Leather Hybrid Footwear
Inspired by the work-from-home culture and the blending of comfort with the versatility of outings, the Vivienne vegan leather slipper collection combines the look of a shoe with the comfort of a slipper.
I designed these three silhouettes with a clean, preppy aesthetic, accented by subtle contrast details that add an unexpected pop of joy.
The recycled faux leather— a PU that uses half the water of traditional PU—is fully lasted like a typical shoe. Above the glued TPR outsoles, you'll find a premium soft EVA and memory foam insert, delivering the comfort of a slipper with the style of a shoe.
