ABOUT|merippa

Merippa is a new type of indoor footwear that is as soft as socks and as easy to slip on as slippers. Made with the same materials as clothing, it offers a gentle feel, and its unique structure with a ribbed heel prevents it from slipping off, ensuring comfort. Another major feature is its reversible design, with different materials and patterns on the front and back. Simply flip them inside out to enjoy changing them to suit your mood or the season.

The background of manufacturing, originating from a factory in Tokyo.

Nakahashi Knitwear, the company that created Merippa, was founded in 1951. It is a knitwear factory in Sumida Ward, Tokyo, that has been producing cut-and-sew products for domestic and international apparel brands for many years. The brand was born from the desire to make use of the high-quality fabrics produced during the OEM production process. "Something other than clothing that only a knitwear factory can make"—this idea led to the genre of indoor slippers. Even today, they continue to create products that utilize the factory's technology and sensibility, from fabric selection to color and pattern combinations and structural design.

We're holding a pop-up event.

At our ongoing pop-up event, we offer a wide selection of Meripa slippers, from basic and easy-to-use standard models to variations in materials, colors, and sizes to suit the season. Lightweight, washable, and perfect for everyday wear, Meripa slippers are recommended not only for personal use but also as gifts. Take this opportunity to try out these "new indoor slippers" born in a Tokyo factory at our store.
