Flippin' and Floppin'


The ultimate Brazilian fashion statement.

Havaianas started in the 60s and have been constantly growing since then.
For the World Cup '98 they launched a pair with the Brazilian flag printed on its straps and immediately became a symbol of national pride.

Their super creative design campaign has made the brand an international star. Starting at around $15, you can't beat the prices either.

Havaianas are sold literally in EVERY corner and come in many styles and colors.
You can even personalize them!

Edwin already has 2 pairs and I will be purchasing my second pair very soon.

Fun Facts: (thanks Wikipedia!)
- 2.2 billion pairs have been sold since its beginning in 1962.
- 5 pairs of havainas are produced per second.
- 2 out of 3 Brazilians own at least 1 pair.
