Amy
Redwine's mother has authentic Kyrgyz felt slippers and purses for sale. The
items are already in the states so the problem of international shipping is
solved. The proceeds from these sales help
Amy put several kids through school in Kyrgyzstan.
Slippers (on left): White
or gray/brown.
In various sizes.
Purses (below): Large or small size in white or gray/brown or tan color. White
in large size only.
She
has plenty of slippers. If you let her know what sizes you want and whether
they are male or female slippers, she can get them to you. If they are female
slippers, she probably have either brown/gray or white in the sizes you want.
All the male slippers are the brown/gray color. They cost $20 for each pair.
You can send her your address
with the order. And if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
