About Our Baby Kilim Duffle
Our best-selling handbag. This bag is slightly smaller than our Classic Kilim Duffle, yet large enough to hold all daily essentials--including a bottle of wine! Our Graphic Designer, Lena, even uses it as an overnight bag occasionally. All of our Kilim bags are handmade from vintage, hand-sourced Turkish carpets, which means that no two Kilim bags will ever be alike. The Kilim Duffle pictured is the actual bag that you will receive.
Kilims are a style of textile traditionally crafted on Turkey's Anatolian peninsula using wool, cotton, or silk. Kilims are flat-woven, featuring a thin, tight weave that make them a perfect textile for crafting shoes. Every symbol, color, and pattern woven into the Kilim has meaning and represents a hope, a dream, or a story from the life of the weaver.
- Made from handwoven vintage handwoven Kilim carpet upper--typically wool, or a wool & cotton blend. Soft leather trim, lined in cotton canvas.
- Includes a detachable, adjustable leather shoulder strap.
- Handmade in Turkey in a small, family-owned workshop.
- 11.5” long, 8” wide, 9” high. See reference image for scale. Model is 5’8”.

The Difference between our Women’s Styles
Loafers
Our Kilim Loafer might be considered the “classic” Artemis shoe. The shape of our Kilim Loafer fits narrow or medium-width feet best, but they will stretch over time to accommodate most widths. Runs true to size.
Smoking Shoes
Inspired by menswear, our classic Smoking Shoe for women features a high vamp and a slightly wider width. If your feet are of medium-width or on the wider side, you may find that the Kilim Smoking Shoe provides the best fit.
Slippers
A backless version of our Smoking Shoe, this style is evocative of classic menswear, featuring a high vamp and a slightly wider width. This style runs a half-size smaller than our closed-back styles, so if you wear a half size, order the next size up (example, a 38.5 should take a 39).
Slides
Inspired by the ease of a classic clog, but with a more feminine shape and a sleeker profile. The heel of this style is twice as high as our other styles, giving the wearer a flattering little lift. This style runs a half-size smaller than our closed-back styles, so if you wear a half size, order the next size up (example, a 38.5 should take a 39).
The Difference between our Men’s Styles
Loafers
Our Men’s Kilim Loafers are inspired by classical formalwear. In particular, the velvet slippers sometimes known as “Prince Albert Slippers” that men wore with smoking jackets in their studies while partaking in after-dinner cigars. We recommend that gentlemen size down in this style to ensure a snug fit.
Slippers
A backless version of our Men’s Kilim Loafer. If you enjoy the look of our Kilim Loafer but want to have something a bit more casual, the Kilim Slipper is an excellent choice. This style runs small, so we recommend ordering the European equivalent of your US size, or going one size larger than your Men’s Kilim Loafer size.
