Havaianas

Founded in Brazil in 1962, Havaianas reinterpreted the traditional Japanese zōri sandal by replacing its straw sole with a rubber construction, still recognizable today for its rice-grain-inspired texture. From an everyday object, the flip-flop evolved into an international icon associated with colour, summer and the Brazilian lifestyle. Over the years, the original design has expanded through new shapes, palettes, prints and finishes while keeping lightness, comfort and practicality at the centre. Styles such as Top and Slim illustrate the evolution of a simple product into a lifestyle essential. Havaianas interprets summer footwear with spontaneity and optimism, combining functionality, Brazilian identity and a continual ability to reinvent its own codes.
