Havaianas are now recognised as the coolest Flip Flops around and are seen as everyone’s first choice of flip flops if you want the best. Since they were first made in Brazil in 1962 Havaianas have always used durable rubber to make the sandals which make them very comfortable and lasting.
It’s pretty ironic that in the early days of the brand Havaianas Flip Flops were known as ‘chinelos de pobre’ which translates to ‘poor mans flip flops’ but by the 90s the upper class Brazilians had started to favour the brand and it soon caught on around the world and snowballed into what the brand has become today.
