Hippobloo
Concept


At Hippobloo, we make a bold choice : the natural rubber. Where the industrie rulies on petroleum, we use the sap of the rubber tree, the natural rubber / latex. From the strap to the sole, our flip-flops are enturely made with natural rubber, delivering a level of comfort and flexibility that only natural material can provide (latex, rubber, milk).



The local know-how of the craftsmen is unique and recognized...


🌱 Plant-Based Origins (Ethics)


Unlike conventional flip-flops, often made from petrochemical materials (EVA, polyurethane), Hippobloo uses natural latex harvested

from rubber trees.


      • This is a renewable resource. At the end of its life, your flip-flops have a much lower environmental footprint than plastic footwear.

🤝 Fairness (The Source)


We are members of the Fair Rubber Association.


You’re not just buying a raw material — you’re supporting an entire supply chain.


      • Our rubber is harvested in Thailand in accordance with fair trade principles. We guarantee fair pay for local producers, respecting

people just as much as the trees.

🌱 Eco-Design (The Product)


Natural rubber is a renewable resource.


      • By choosing Hippobloo, you help reduce plastic use. Their carbon footprint is drastically lower compared to synthetic models.

☁️ “Cloud Effect” Comfort (The Experience)


Natural rubber has physical properties that synthetic materials simply can’t replicate.


        • Flexibility and cushioning: the sole adapts to the shape of your foot without permanently collapsing, and the natural rubber

strap doesn’t hurt between the toes (often the weak point of flip-flops).

🥥 True Durability (Quality)


Natural rubber is naturally more resistant to twisting and wear.


       • A Hippobloo flip-flop doesn’t “snap” after three wears. It’s a robust product designed to last several seasons.

🏔️ Solidarity (National Action)


      • As a member of 1% for the Planet, we donate 1% of our revenue to environmental causes. We currently proudly support

Mountain Riders, an organization working toward ecological transition in the mountains and the collection of wild litter.

From beaches to mountains, Hippobloo is committed to preserving our natural playgrounds.

Hippobloo: A Positive Footprint.


Why choose between comfort, style, and ethics?


We created the flip-flop we wanted to wear ourselves: flexible, durable, and made from 100% natural rubber.

Our journey begins in the rubber tree forests of Thailand, where we source our raw materials through fair trade.

It continues with every step you take, thanks to a strap and sole that move with you. And it ends with a concrete action: thanks to you,

we support Mountain Riders in protecting our mountain landscapes.

Walk light. Walk committed.

💙 Local Solidarity – “Meaningful Logistics”


“Logistics with a purpose.”


Working with an ESAT transforms a purely technical step (preparing a parcel) into an action with strong social impact.


      • Every Hippobloo order is carefully prepared by workers with disabilities. By choosing our flip-flops, you directly support professional

inclusion and the social and solidarity economy in France.


      • For us, solidarity doesn’t stop at manufacturing — it continues all the way to packing your order. A huge thank you to the entire team

for their dedication and smiles!

📦 Product Distribution


We work exclusively with retailers who share our values. Each of our partners is committed to an ethical approach — whether ecological,

fair trade, or organic. This is a key choice for us, ensuring we offer responsible products that respect both the environment and people.

We don’t just sell flip-flops — we offer a complete ethical alternative.

Our Product vs. “Made in France” / “Made in Europe” Flip-Flops

*


🤍 A truly ethical product is judged as much by its values as by where it’s made.

We believe an ethical product isn’t defined solely by its country of manufacture. While supporting local production is important,

it doesn’t automatically guarantee an ecological, fair, or socially responsible approach. Some products may be made in France

while still using synthetic materials or poorly committed supply chains.

Our choice is to go further — by selecting environmentally friendly materials and working with partners who are truly engaged in ethical

and socially responsible practices. Every product is designed to have a positive impact, both on the planet and on the people

involved in making it.

*

Ethics aren’t just a label — they’re built at every stage of production.

*

“Made in France” isn’t always enough"

*


Without pointing fingers:


   • Some products use synthetic, petrochemical-based materials 

 
   • Some production chains are neither fair nor socially responsible


   • The place of assembly doesn’t guarantee raw material traceability

*

👉 A product can be made locally while still relying on synthetic materials or opaque supply chains. Ethics must be measured across

the product’s entire life cycle.

*

*

Our approach is therefore to offer a comfortable product while practicing a reasonable price policy, a "fair" price for the consumer!


To propose an alternative tp the plastic flip-flop !!!


If we join a "classic" marketing approach, the public price would be higher.


We can practice this pricing policy because our brand is known little by little, by word of mouth and we do not incur expenses in advertising campaigns, very expensive...


You find our products in committed sales points, with values...


Our distribution approach is also based on values ​​such as respect, trust and listening to our resellers.


Hippobloo Europe is the exclusive importer of the brand throughout Europe, Hippobloo is a registered trademark. 

A trendy, comfortable
and robust flip flop…

At the same time a basic and a must of the summer, the Hippobloo flip flops are distinguished by their comfort, their style and their their lifespan.

We made the choice to use latex so that our flip-flop is supple, comfortable and resistant at the same time.

The slogan "great comfort for the foot and one step for the planet", reflects the philosophy of the brand.



Aware that people must always be the center of attention, Hippobloo has set up a chain of production of latex flip flops, rubber sap.

To produce Hippobloo flip flops for men, women and children, Hippobloo gets its supplies from two producers of rubber, we pay a fee for 0.5 € / kg of rubber.

This supply chain was brought to us by the Fair Rubber association of which we are today member.

Hippobloo flip flops are very COMFORTABLE.



The number of stores offering Hippobloo thongs is constantly growing, a sign of a quality of ethics and very interesting comfort.

The consumer is the first judge !

Comparing our product with other brands you will find good quality for a price often very lower...

To try it is to adopt it...



We have the Thai know-how from the artisans we work with !

Millions of flip flops are made in Thailand, of various qualities, we opted for a product of good manufacture.

The know-how of our Thai artisans, from the rubber harvest to its manufacturing and processing, allows us to offer you a good quality product.

Moreover, we wish by our approach to bring to all the craftsmen, the employees, a stable and sustainable through our longevity and the growth of our Hippobloo brand.



Increasingly general awareness makes us say that we are actors and that we must react and change our mode of consumption.

To complete our approach, the routing of our product, is by boat, once a year.

Latex from the rubber tree

Thailand is one of the main producers of natural rubber, vegetable latex, pure juice from the rubber tree.


Latex is harvested by tapping the bark of the rubber tree trunk (called Ton Yang in Thai).


Using a very specific tool (called Mid in Thai) and a very specific hand, the know-how of the craftsmen begins here so as not to damage the throat or the latex will flow.


A small tongue (called Line Yang in Thai) and added to the trunk of the tree so that the latex flows well into its ceramic container (called touayang in Thai).


Farmers make a small cut in part of the rubber tree, then gradually bleed the tree as they work their way down.








The bleeding generally begins at the height of a man, then gradually descends.


At each bleeding, the notch is revived by cutting a thin strip of barely about 2 mm thick.


This is the gesture that must be very precise so as not to remove too much thickness from the latex flow groove.


However, it is important not to touch the wood generator as this causes scarring and reduced yield.


Asia is the main producing region of natural rubber (95% of the world total).


The top three natural rubber producing countries in order are Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam.
