About Us
RIPA was founded in 2014 in Portugal by a football addict who launched a facebook page for the fun of sharing football retro curiosities.
Our name was inspired by a famous Portuguese football commentator called Jorge Perestrelo (1948-2005) and his infamous "RIPA na Rapaqueca" expression.
It's also an homage for his memory.
After a long break and during the pandemic year of 2020, an idea of creating football memorabilia inspired designs was born.
RIPA plans to offer an assortment of product lines featuring retro and modern phone cases, laptop sleeves, prints, mugs, shirts and many other football-inspired and kit design-led products.
Since our inception we've been committed quality and environmental friendly craftsmanship to ensure the very highest quality standards. Our products are made to order by Print Partners worldwide and our process (and our partners) is driven by sustainability and a commitment that our workers are rewarded for their dedication with fair pay and good working conditions.
This Online Store contains the complete RIPA collection. Thanks for stopping by and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
