Who we are

At YAK, we believe in the power of adventure, craftsmanship, and connection. Our journey began on the rugged roads of Nepal, where two strangers, Matt and Dai, met in the back tray of a jeep after 10 days of high-altitude trekking. The 21-hour ride that followed sparked a shared vision — to create something that reflects the spirit of that unforgettable journey. YAK is more than a slipper; it's a testament to the bond between people, places, and cultures, woven together with purpose and passion.

Every pair of YAK slippers is made from 100% New Zealand wool, known for its softness, durability, and natural insulating properties. Sourced ethically and sustainably, our wool is transformed into timeless footwear by skilled artisans in Nepal, where traditional techniques and modern design converge. Each slipper tells a story of dedication, care, and craftsmanship — just like the journey that started it all.
