"Margie Hoole began her journey into crafting hand made sheepskin slippers whilst living on a farm in the Eastern Cape in 1999.
During these two decades, her and her small team of artisans have honed their skills to produce some of the finest quality 100% handcrafted slippers (if not the best) in the country.
Margie and her Comfies have attended the Grahamstown (now called Makhanda) National Arts Festival and the Bathurst Show for about 23 consecutive years and will frequently been seen around the East London area markets."
