WHERE IT ALL COMES TOGETHER
COME IN
IT STARTS WITH PEOPLE
We believe the smallest details often leave the biggest memories.
Kaaita is a creative studio designing washable felt slippers and other soft objects for people who design hospitality.
Everything we create starts with listening. We enjoy discovering what makes each place unique and translating those conversations into design that feels true to its people, values and story.
Together with remarkable hotels across Europe, we design considered objects, meaningful stories and thoughtful guest experiences.
FROM THE FIRST SKETCH TO THE FINAL STITCH
Ideas come to life in our own studio and in-house manufacturing in Slovenia, where craftspeople, designers and creatives work side by side from the first sketch to the final stitch.
From washable felt slippers and personalised details to entirely new collections developed from materials that already have a story to tell, every project is shaped with care for people, materials and hospitality.
We help remarkable hotels rethink materials, guest experiences and the small details that shape hospitality.
KAAITA is led by Alenka Repic. Economist by profession, but bored to death by the classical economic models and phrases like competitive race, open capital market and battle for customers, Alenka passionately believes that we all could be winners. That nature and environment are important business partners, and that there is no greater machine than positively fired-up brain matter, paired with the skillful fingers of a craftsman.
Cherry Picked from the Press
Alenka Repic is the founder of Kaaita, a Slovenian company that has placed its footwear in dozens of hotels across the world. Trained as an economist, Repic launched Kaaita in 2004 as a creative consultancy helping other companies on environmental issues. Over the years, the company has transformed into a boutique manufacturer making sustainable slippers. For this week’s programme, Guy De Launey went to Kaaita’s headquarters in Ljubljana.
