OUR STORY
How it all began….
It all started in 2017, somewhere between a blast of tropical sunshine and a breeze of fresh inspiration. We looked at our slippers – boring, mass-produced, and far from sustainable – and thought: this can be better. That’s how Owniez was born, a brand that refuses to settle for average.
From Mauritius to Nairobi and back to the Netherlands. Our flip flops have traveled more than most people, and it shows in their character. In Mauritius, we mastered the craft; in Nairobi, we added creativity and personalization. Back in the Netherlands, we brought it all together into one sustainable masterpiece.
Handmade. Sustainable. 100% your style.
In our flip flop design studio in Leeuwarden, we design flip flops that not only feel great to wear but also leave you feeling good. With soles made from FSC-certified rubber and a generous dose of love, we create slippers that look as unique as you feel.
Owniez is more than just a pair of flip flops – it’s a statement. Whether you’re strolling on the beach, exploring the city, or simply enjoying a chill day: with Owniez, you always take the lead.
From your first step to your next adventure. Owniez. Made for you, wherever you go.
