Rather Splendid Flip Flops That Actually Care About Where They're Going
Look, we've all squinted at our feet and wondered if flip flops could be, well, less catastrophic for the planet. Turns out they can. These Islander flip flops manage the rather clever trick of keeping your toes happy whilst being genuinely decent to the earth. Minimalist, adaptable, and fabulously made, they're the sort of footwear that doesn't require an apologetic shrug.
Why Choose Our Islander Flip Flops
Durable Recycled Rubber Sole: Our Gumtread outsoles are flexibly built from recycled rubber with biodegradable jute reinforcement. They grip like a tyre, bend like a dream, and last year after year. Rather marvellous for whatever terrain you encounter, whether that's gravel, sand, or the occasionally treacherous kitchen tile.
Soft Cotton Comfort: We've lined the toe posts, straps, and footbed with recycled cotton canvas because your feet deserve better than a pinching regret. Instant comfort from the very first wear, no breaking in required. Splendid news for anyone who's ever hobbled home in new sandals.
Contoured Foot Support: Designed to follow the natural shape of your foot rather than fight it. Which means genuine support whether you're heading to the beach, wandering into town, or embarking on an actual adventure. Properly clever ergonomic thinking.
Plant a Tree With Your Purchase: Each pair plants one mangrove tree in Africa, supporting local communities and protecting the environment for future adventurers. Your feet feel good, communities thrive, forests grow. Utterly fetching all round.

SHIPPING + RETURNS
THE RATHER IMPORTANT BITS
This rather lovely piece ships directly from our brand partner - we work with independent brands who are absolutely brilliant and work frightfully hard to create beautiful things.
SHIPPING DESTINATIONS
Now, here's the thing - our wonderful brand partners ship to lots of different places, but not all of them can ship worldwide.
Some are brilliant at international shipping, others prefer to keep things closer to home.
At checkout, you'll see exactly where this particular brand can send your goodies.
We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS
You have 14 days to return items.
Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!
🌍 PLEASE CHOOSE THOUGHTFULLY:
Our wonderful partners put their hearts into everything they make.
Ordering multiple sizes to try at home is rather hard on our planet and makes things jolly difficult for these brilliant independent creators.
When in doubt, do ask us first!
PAYMENT
We're frightfully modern and accept all the usual suspects:
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay
SECURE AS HOUSES
Everything's properly encrypted and secure - your details are safer than the Crown Jewels!
All prices in lovely British pounds £ GBP, though international chaps will see converted prices.
Any payment pickle? We're here to help sort things out! Contact us
We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect. Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience.
Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently. Explore our British makers, discover sustainable brands, browse women-led businesses, find the perfect gift for her, or simply wander through our new arrivals and see what finds you.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — read all about us, or step inside and see what catches your imagination.
A Curated Marketplace for Independent Ethical Brands
Discover our world of independent brands, conscious design, and purposeful creativity — all in one place.
Sostter is more than a marketplace. We're here to inspire a more thoughtful way to shop — one that celebrates the makers, the dreamers, and the independent brands doing things properly. Every brand on Sostter has been individually vetted for its originality, quality, and values. From sustainable fashion and ethical homeware to handmade jewellery and design-led gifts — all brought together in one considered space. Browse by location, by purpose, or simply wander and see what finds you. Want to sell with us? We'd love to hear from you.
