Our Home and Heritage
The Glerups headquarters sits in the countryside of northern Denmark, surrounded by fields, trees and fresh air. The business remains a family story — as Glerups has grown we have rebuilt, redecorated and expanded our facilities while preserving the spirit of the place. Today the warehouse stands on the field where Nanny once tended her Gotland sheep. We treasure these surroundings and draw inspiration and energy from the natural environment.
Carefully Selected Wool
Glerups began using wool from the family’s own Gotland sheep. Over time we refined our blend by combining Gotland wool with soft, high-quality wool sourced from New Zealand farmers who meet our standards for consistent quality and humane animal welfare. The result is a durable, soft wool mix ideal for slippers and comfort footwear.
Natural Performance and Easy Care
Wool is a natural fibre with self-cleaning properties thanks to lanolin, the wool’s natural fat. When wool gets wet, lanolin and the sheep’s natural salts form a gentle, soap-like process that helps keep the fibre fresh. Many of these benefits carry over to wool footwear: products breathe naturally and rarely need frequent washing. Often, airing them out is enough to maintain freshness — a simple, sustainable advantage for you and the environment.
