OUR STORY
From Sole to Soul – the Owniez Story
It all started in 2017. Sun, sea, and… boring flip flops. Mass-produced, uncomfortable, and totally uninspiring. We thought: this can be better. Enter Owniez – the flip flop that keeps things simple, comfy, and stylish.
From Mauritius to Nairobi to The Netherlands
Our flip-flops have traveled more than most people! We started crafting on Mauritius, got creative in Nairobi, and brought it all together back home in The Netherlands. The result? A flip-flop that feels as good as it looks.
Designed by You, Crafted by Us
Our Flip Flop Design Studio in Leeuwarden is where the magic happens. Using FSC-certified rubber and a whole lot of love, we create slippers that fit your vibe – because why settle for anything less?
Owniez is more than just a flip-flop – it’s a statement.
From the beach to the city, from morning strolls to summer festivals – Owniez takes you everywhere.
