Les Trois Chameaux
Women’s Cobalt Suede Balgha Slippers
Also known as babouches, these handcrafted women's balghas are made in Tunisia from cobalt blue suede leather and rooted in centuries of North African craftsmanship. Made by Les Trois Chameaux, they are the slippers you'll reach for every morning—lightweight, comfortable, and effortlessly elegant.
The vibrant blue hue evokes Mediterranean skies and painted shutters along Tunisia's coast, bringing a fresh burst of color to everyday life. The minimalist silhouette feels equally at home beside the bed, in a reading nook, or while entertaining at home. Crafted from structured suede that gradually softens and molds to the foot with wear, these traditional slippers become increasingly comfortable over time, elevating everyday rituals with timeless design and enduring craftsmanship.
Material: 100% leather upper and sole
Handmade in: the Tunis medina
Style: The heal of the shoe remains flat
Sizing: Shoes are listed in US sizes. Half sizes should order the next size up, e.g. size 6 1/2 should order size 7
Care: Use a soft cloth or suede brush to remove dust. To prevent stains, spray your suede slippers with a suede protective spray. Keep your slippers away from the heater and humidity. If the slippers come in contact with any liquids, dab them with a dry cloth or paper towel.
The creative force behind Les Trois Chameaux is Souheil Fitouri, a fifth-generation balgha maker who learned to craft the classic Tunisian slipper from his father, master balgha maker of the Tunis medina. Today, Les Trois Chameaux preserves Tunisia’s sartorial heritage and adds a dash of inspiration, working with young artisans and designers to adapt the traditional footwear to contemporary fashion and export it beyond the Mediterranean to Europe and the U.S.
