Our Story
At Lainea, our mission is to bring the warmth and artistry of Patagonia to Canada. What began as a local craft in the South of Chile now finds its way into Canadian homes, allowing you to experience the natural comfort and timeless qualities of sheepskin, handmade with care. Our story is rooted in Puerto Varas, a lakeside town at the gateway to Patagonia, surrounded by volcanoes, forests, and endless natural beauty. Here, Daniela, our artisan, has been creating slippers for more than a decade. Working from her home workshop and raising two children, she has built not just a livelihood but a way of life, where every pair of slippers reflects patience, devotion, and tradition.
At the heart of our craft lies noble Patagonian sheepskin and leather, giving new life to this noble material through skilled hands. Unlike synthetic materials, sheepskin offers unmatched natural warmth, breathability, and durability. Each pair is made to last, a purposeful product that honours both people and the planet. If you ever find yourself in Puerto Varas, we invite you to step into Daniela’s workshop. Beyond our slippers, you will discover other handcrafted treasures of Patagonia, a living expression of artistry, family, and nature, shared now with you in Canada.
