Dear Valued Customers and TOOCHE Community,
Today, as we celebrate the 8th birthday of TOOCHE, we find ourselves at a significant crossroads. It is with a blend of gratitude and melancholy that we announce the closing of our beloved brand. Since our inception in Riga, Latvia, in 2015, TOOCHE has been a journey of passion, innovation, and sustainable fashion.
Reflecting on these wonderful eight years, we are immensely proud of the community we have built and the impact we have made. Our unique, sustainable footwear and accessories have not just been products, but symbols of a shared vision for a better, more mindful world.
In celebrating our 8th anniversary, we also want to offer you a final opportunity to be part of our story. Our remaining stock, a testament to our commitment to quality and craftsmanship, is available for purchase. This is your chance to acquire a piece of TOOCHE's history, handcrafted with love and care.
We assure you that all existing orders will be honored with the same dedication to excellence that has been our hallmark. Our decision to close, though difficult, is a strategic move in light of evolving market trends and personal goals.
Your support, enthusiasm, and participation in our journey have been the lifeblood of TOOCHE. As we bid farewell, we want to express our deepest gratitude for being part of our brand's life. The spirit of TOOCHE, embodied in sustainability, creativity, and community, will continue to live on in each of you.
Thank you for walking this incredible path with us. Here's to eight years of memories, achievements, and shared dreams. While this chapter closes, new beginnings await us all.
Warmest regards,
Michelle & Yuris
TOOCHE founders & lovers.
Have you ever wondered what goes into creating a commercial for a brand like TOOCHE? We're excited to take you behind the scenes and give you a glimpse into the making of our latest commercial.
From concept to execution, the filming of the TOOCHE commercial was a team effort. The goal was to showcase our collection of slippers and highlight their comfort and style. Our team wanted to capture the essence of a cozy and relaxing at-home experience, while also showcasing the versatility of our slippers.
The filming took place in a beautifully designed Grand Palace hotel in Riga, where our models could show off our slippers in a natural and comfortable setting. The team paid great attention to detail, ensuring that every shot was perfect and captured the essence of our brand.
We wanted our customers to feel like they were part of the TOOCHE family, which is why we chose to feature real people instead of actors. The models were chosen based on their diverse backgrounds, representing our customers and their individual styles.
The filming process was a long but exciting journey. The team spent hours working on lighting, camera angles, and wardrobe changes to get the perfect shots. The music selection was also an essential part of the process, as we wanted to create a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere that would resonate with our customers.
After 12 hours of filming, our team had captured the perfect shots to create our commercial. The editing process was the final step, where we selected the best clips and added the finishing touches to create a cohesive story.
We're thrilled with the outcome of the commercial, and we hope you are too! We're excited to share our collection of slippers with you, and we invite you to experience the comfort and style that TOOCHE has to offer.
Thank you for being a part of our journey, and we look forward to sharing more exciting moments with you in the future.

]]>Dear friends and partners,
We wanted to say that we are thinking of you in these uncertain times. Though we wish it were under different circumstances, we are grateful that we can still unite as a global digital community. The COVID-19 pandemic is showing us how powerful healthy, everyday practices can be. From hand-washing to the global impact of individual actions like staying at home to protect those in poor health.
We're living in extraordinary times and learning more about COVID-19 every day. People are at the heart of our business, so taking care of our people is incredibly important to us at TOOCHE. This is why this week and until further notice, all office-based TOOCHE workers are working remotely. Our production facilities remain open for now, as we are also mindful of the need to support our workers, for whom work at our manufactory is the only source of income. Meanwhile, we are doing our very best to protect our staff well-being through additional health and safety measures.
As we are a direct-to-consumer business, our online store remains open. We are working closely with our suppliers to ensure their safety, while also making sure to fulfil and dispatch orders as fast as possible. Our customer service is always available, so please continue to reach out through our digital channels.
Due to this you may experience some shipping delays and orders may take longer than usual to dispatch. However, please note we are trying our very best to get your order to you as soon as possible. You can contact us at anytime through our customer service channels (email – info@tooche.me, Instagram – @tooche.me, Facebook – TOOCHE)
We hope you and your families stay healthy and safe. We truly believe we will come out of this stronger and more connected than ever, together.
With love & care,
TOOCHE team.

]]>Starring the first deafblind model on the runway in the history. The collection "I see" by designer Elvira Shipitsina empowers anyone to Speak, Be Seen, and be heard and it is the manifest to the burning power of love. Each model from this collection unique made from red wool or Pinatex material.
One of the main colors of the collection is red. Because when you think of love,you think of the color red. Because no matter what the color of your skin, hair or outfit, no matter whether you are deafblind or capable of seeing and hearing - there is red blood flowing within you. Because red is the color that makes you stop and realize something. Because red is one of the last colors a person with diminishing vision sees. Because red is the first color you started to see after you were born. Because red has been associated with help and safety throughout the times – from Red Cross, Red List to red traffic lights when you cross the street. Because the cane of a person with Deafblindness also has red stripes, too. It's red, because we know no other way to make the world a better place and make you recognize how great it is that you can actually SEE THIS.
We believe that a person with deafblindness should have voice in the society, be heard, be seen and speak. To say this we have added golden elements to our designs, to say that silence is not golden in the case of the deafblindness and that love is of biggest value”.
]]>We are so honoured to be included in a new book dedicated to secrets of style!

That Red Sweater is not only about red or about sweaters - it's about you and me, as in the end - we both have our red blood in our veins and we are both knitted into the canvas of life.
That Red Sweater is red, because red is the color of life and the color of love.
That Red Sweater is red, because red is that classic color that makes a man sing and is in fashion throughout the times, just as help is.
That Red Sweater is red, because red is the color that makes us stop every time we cross the road and the we need to stop to help a deaf blind - instead of passing him over and over again.
That Red Sweater is red, because red is actually one of the first colours you learned to recognise when you were a small infant.
It is also one of the colours people with vision problems see best.
That Red Sweater is red, because i don't know any other way to make this world a better place. And because i want you to recognise how great it is that you can SEE THIS!!
