Hello, I’m Flippie

I’m Flippie Blaauw, the visionary and creative force behind Filipé.

Filipé began with an idea, a passion for beauty and creativity, and the desire to turn inspiration into something tangible and meaningful. What started as a dream has grown into a brand that reflects my love for elegance, individuality and thoughtful design.

I have always been inspired by beauty, fashion, creativity and the art of self-expression. For me, creating is more than bringing a product to life. It is about creating an experience: something that feels personal, beautiful and uniquely yours.

Why I started Filipé

Filipé began with a simple yet powerful dream: to create skincare that inspires people to feel confident, comfortable and beautiful in their own skin.

From the very beginning, I wanted to build something that goes beyond products on a shelf. I wanted Filipé to embody self-care, confidence, individuality and the beauty of embracing who you are.

I have always believed that skincare should be an experience that makes you feel good about yourself, never something that makes you feel as though you need to hide or change who you are.

With this belief at heart, I began creating. I learned, experimented, refined, made mistakes, started again and continued to grow. Every formula, every detail and every product became another piece of a vision that was slowly coming to life.

For me, Filipé is more than a skincare brand. It is a reflection of passion, perseverance and the belief that authentic beauty deserves to be recognised, nurtured and celebrated. It is about embracing your individuality, investing in yourself and finding confidence in your own skin.

The journey so far

My journey with Filipé has been one of discovery, perseverance and continuous growth. I believe in learning through experience. I taught myself, experimented, refined my ideas, made mistakes, started again and embraced every lesson along the way. Each challenge has shaped the brand and, just as importantly, shaped me.

I have also learned the value of listening to those who have walked the path before me. I have sought guidance, asked questions, welcomed constructive advice and learned from people whose experience and knowledge I deeply respect. True growth comes from staying curious, being humble enough to learn and having the courage to evolve.

From product development and refining formulas to creating packaging, designing labels, producing content, connecting with customers and building the identity of the brand, I have been personally involved in every stage of Filipé’s journey.

I am ambitious, but I believe in building with intention. I have big dreams for Filipé, and I am proud to begin with the small details that create something truly exceptional. What began as a dream has become a journey, one built with intention, passion and purpose. And this is only the beginning.
