What to know about Filling Pieces
The Ripple is the entry point
Its best-known model is the low-top Ripple, a leather sneaker on a segmented rubber sole, and it anchors a range built mainly around leather footwear.
Made in European factories
Sneakers are produced in Europe rather than at mass-market cost, which explains the mid-to-high pricing against typical streetwear labels.
Street culture meets high fashion
Founded in 2009 by an architecture student, Guillaume Philibert, with the stated aim of bridging the two, now extending into knitwear, ready-to-wear and accessories.
How Filling Pieces fits
Overall fit
slightly small
Most wearers find the leather sneakers fit slightly snug and narrow, with many recommending a half size up from their usual sneaker size.
