About the original
The Frette Icon Slipper is a velvet house slipper with the embroidered Frette emblem on the vamp, a padded footbed, and a genuine leather sole, handmade in Italy. Founded in 1860 in Intra on Lake Maggiore, Frette is one of the oldest Italian linen houses and has supplied sheets, robes, and loungewear to hotels including The Ritz-Carlton, The Savoy, the Vatican, and the Orient Express, as well as to the Italian royal family. The SS19 Supreme version uses the same Italian-made slipper with a co-branded Supreme emblem. At $68 retail against Frette's standalone $280 price, this is one of the few collabs where the box-logo version cost less than the original.
