The Flip-Flop Shop


FLIP-FLOP ART

So the flip-flops, after their long and varied journeys, get collected by local women and children and carved up into wonderful creatures…and these, along with flip-flop jewellery and more besides are NOW AVAILABLE IN THE UK! Light and colourful, recycled and very fair-trade, these are great gifts for all occasions.
