Fipper, renowned for its iconic rubber slippers, is thrilled to announce a collaboration with Bayu Somerset, a distinguished local fashion label celebrated for its vibrant designs and commitment to comfort. As proud Malaysian brands, this partnership brings together two homegrown names that prioritize quality, comfort, and aesthetic appeal, resulting in a unique footwear collection that embodies both style and ease.
Fipper and Bayu Somerset have seamlessly integrated innovation and creativity into every facet of their product, striving to elevate local brands onto the global stage. This collaboration not only introduces a new footwear collection but also infuses revolutionary elements into everyday design.
A standout feature is the uniquely designed sole. Crafted to deliver maximum comfort and exceptional ergonomic support, this innovative sole is ideal for daily wear—whether you’re journeying home for a kampung visit or attending family gatherings. Its distinct design reflects Fipper’s dedication to cutting-edge technology in footwear manufacturing.
In addition, Fipper’s inaugural printed collection represents a bold artistic expression. The vibrant prints, rich with local motifs and dynamic colors, offer a fresh visual experience in footwear design. By combining the breakthrough sole with these artistic prints, both brands successfully blend functionality with aesthetic appeal, presenting a stylish, trendsetting product for the global market.
While the Raya season often focuses on baju kurung and festive attire, one essential aspect has been overlooked—daily footwear designed for ‘balik kampung’ travels and family gatherings. Addressing this gap, Fipper and Bayu Somerset have introduced a collection that seamlessly blends comfort with vibrant design, ensuring that people can stay both stylish and comfortable as they journey back to their kampung.
The exclusive Fipper x Bayu Somerset Collection showcases a fusion of Fipper’s expertise in crafting comfortable footwear and Bayu Somerset’s flair for bold, colorful designs. This limited-edition line features premium-quality slippers adorned with intricate patterns and a rich color palette, reflecting Malaysia’s diverse cultural heritage. Notably, this marks the first time Fipper has introduced a printed collection, coupled with an entirely new shape of sole, enhancing both the aesthetic and ergonomic appeal of the footwear.
During the launching ceremony, Fadila Aziz, Marketing Manager of Fipper, stated, “This collaboration is more than just a product launch; it is a celebration of Malaysian talent and innovation. By merging Fipper’s expertise in creating comfortable and durable footwear with Bayu Somerset’s artistic craftsmanship, we are pushing the boundaries of fashion-forward footwear while staying true to our roots.”
Reflecting on the upcoming festive season, Dania Kamalul, Head of Marketing at Bayu Somerset, shared, ‘Comfort has always been at the heart of what we do at Bayu Somerset. We want our customers to feel good with every step they take, whether through our main collection or this special collaboration with Fipper. As Ramadan and Raya approach, comfort becomes more essential than ever—whether for preparations, gatherings, or the journey home”
