History
Founded in 1992 by Angela Spieth and Michael Oehler, Trippen emerged from the creative landscape of post-reunification Berlin. The brand gained recognition for its innovative use of wooden soles and unconventional pattern-cutting techniques. It established a production model centered on local manufacturing in Germany and Italy to ensure ethical labor practices. In fashion history, Trippen is noted for bridging the gap between conceptual art and functional footwear, influencing the development of sustainable luxury.
