Trippen

Berlin


Forget about 10cm heels! Berlin-based Trippen’s shoes are designed with the human anatomy in mind, yet are light years ahead in style compared to the loafers grandma used to buy in the orthopaedic shop. The award-winning brand prides itself on its ‘socially responsible’ manufacturing and love of unusual shapes. Now available worldwide, this gorgeous shop is where it all began in 1995.
