Fipper Slipper, why not in the EU?

Our introduction to Fipper Slipper: how a wanderlust idea brought Fipper to Europe.

Some ideas are born at the kitchen table. Others come to life on white beaches, under swaying palm trees and amid the hustle and bustle of colourful markets. For us – Rob van Keulen and Nick van Kempen – the story of Fipper Slipper Netherlands began exactly there: in Southeast Asia, during one of our many trips.

On flip-flops through Southeast Asia

We have been keen travellers for years. Countries such as Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia attract us time and time again. Not only because of the nature or the food, but also because of the relaxed way of life, the rhythm of the day, and the rich culture that can be felt everywhere. During all those kilometres we walked – through cities, villages and along beaches – we always had one thing on our feet: Fipper Slippers.

Not just any slippers, we thought. They turned out to be surprisingly sturdy, strikingly colourful and, above all, incredibly comfortable. Not disposable plastic ones, but sustainable slippers with their own style. They quickly became an integral part of our travel gear – and to be honest, they looked good too.

Why not to Europe?

After so many positive experiences, we started to wonder: why aren't these slippers available in Europe? Why should the tropical feeling of comfort, colour and quality be limited to the Asian sun?

That seed stuck, and grew into a concrete plan: to bring Fipper to Europe. And so it happened.

What is Fipper?

Fipper was founded in 2008 and has since grown into a well-known flip-flop brand in various parts of the world. The flip-flops are made from 100% natural rubber and combine a timeless, colourful design with practical durability. There is something for everyone: from classic models to modern variants with playful colour combinations.

What appeals to us most is that Fipper stands for simplicity without compromising on quality. No fuss – just a flip-flop that does what it's supposed to do, and does it in style.

Our mission

With Fipper Slipper Europe, we don't just want to sell flip-flops – we want to convey a feeling. The feeling of freedom, relaxation and simplicity. Whether you're on holiday or just walking through the city, at a festival or in your backyard: Fipper fits in.

We believe that comfort and style can go hand in hand, and that quality doesn't have to be unaffordable. We've experienced it ourselves, and now we want to share that feeling.
