Description

Havaianas has become world’s favorite brand of flip flops not only because of our durable and marshmallow soft rubber soles, but because of their brand’s history and roots.

Created by Scotsman Robert Fraser in 1962, it is currently owned by Brazilian manufacturing company Alpargatas. Inspired by Japanese zōri sandals, Fraser became the first to mass-produce flip-flops out of rubber.

The name Havaianas is derived from the feminine form of the Portuguese word for “Hawaiians”, and the pattern on the soles of the sandals is designed to resemble the straw soles of zōri.

Havaianas flip-flops are the most popular in the world, with 200 million pairs being sold every year.
