Flip flops from flopZ £30
Conceived by co-founders Aga and Alan over several beers, holiday banter and laughing about Aga’s mispronunciation of ‘fish flops’… a creative spark was ignited and they thought what a great idea it would be to create flip flops which have the unique luminescence of tropical fish and coral reefs. They ran with the idea for the two years, allowing the designs to evolve and develop into the fun, bright, high quality product you see today.
flopZ are regularly featured in leading international publications and have collaborated with exclusive luxury resorts such as the Ocean Club in the Bahamas (made famous in the James Bond movie Casino Royale) and the ‘One & Only Reethi Rah’ Maldives. Popular choices from their range include the Ripples and Emerald White Straps flopz that you see pictured above.
