About ddipp®

We design, manufacture and sell sustainable sports wear.

ddipp® was started by Mark, Melissa and Matt in 2020, during the Covid19 pandemic. Not an ideal time to start a new business, but that year did remind us all about what is really important… spending time doing the things we love with other people, with a clear conscience. The huge growth of sports such as Open Water swimming and Paddleboarding just shows how we yearn to get outdoors and have fun! We saw an opportunity for an outdoor brand who place quality and ethics at the heart of design, and so started developing our first product, the Sea Monster coat.

Matt grew up in Perranporth, Cornwall, and the beach was never far away. Matt now lives in Hong Kong, and enjoys trekking and paddleboarding in the warmer waters! This also means he can be close to some of our manufacturing partners, and ensure the transparency and high standards so integral to us. Matt also has huge experience in the design, sourcing and accreditation of textiles and clothing.

Mark grew up in the rain of Lancashire, spending many weekends sailing and cycling in the Lake District. Now with a family of his own, Mark spends a lot of time paddleboarding, dinghy sailing and walking his dogs. It was spending time (and getting cold) before and after activity that provoked the development of the Sea Monster… protection and warmth with a more ethical approach to sustainability.

Melissa also grew up in Perranporth, which is no surprise, as she is Matt’s sister! Melissa now lives near the south coast, still loves the sea and has recently taken up open water swimming.

The heart of ddipp is, and will continue to be, high quality, useful, and ethical design. We want our products to help you enjoy the best bit of your day!
