About Bbohe – Australian Alpaca Felt Artisan

Welcome to Bbohe, where every product begins in the rolling hills of the Southern Tablelands of NSW. I’m Melanie, alpaca farmer and felt maker, and for over 14 years I’ve been transforming the soft fleece from my herd into luxury alpaca felt slippers, hats, vests, and scarves.

​

My journey began with a love of natural fibres and the desire to create products that are gentle on the planet yet luxurious to wear. Using the ancient art of wet felting, I craft each piece by hand with alpaca fleece, fine wool, and silk. The process uses rainwater, handmade olive oil soap, and traditional tools – no chemicals, no synthetic shortcuts.

Bbohe is more than a brand – it’s a connection between land, maker, and wearer. Every item reflects the beauty of the Australian landscape, from earthy tones inspired by eucalypts to the jewel-like colours of native birds. I work in small batches, often creating seasonal collections that tell a story through colour, texture, and form.

​

Customers often tell me my slippers are the warmest, softest, and most comfortable they’ve ever owned, helping ease cold feet and improving comfort for those with poor circulation or sensitive skin.

When you choose Bbohe, you’re choosing slow fashion, sustainable living, and a truly one-of-a-kind piece – crafted from nature, for you.
