The world's most beloved sandal was born in Brazil in 1962 and was given the name Havaianas. The first Havaianas had fabric straps and a sole of rice straw which is why the soles of Havaianas still bare the iconic rice texture. Since then, Havaianas has been flipping and flopping its way across the globe making themselves comfortable from from Alaska to Australia. Havaianas are present when the Oscars are handed out, when the World Cup champion emerges and when you stroll down to the water on a warm August evening. www.havaianas.com
