Havaianas flip-flops

Havaianas is an iconic Brazilian brand of rubber flip-flops created by Alpargatas in 1962. The design was inspired by the Japanese Zori, traditional sandals made of rice straw, which is why the texture of Havaianas soles resembles rice grains.

The brand is a global fashion staple, exported to over 100 countries. While Alpargatas maintains its primary manufacturing facilities in Brazil, ensure the highest quality standards, the brand has seen various ownership changes throughout its history. Currently, the brand is owned by the conglomerate Alpargatas S.A., which is controlled by investment firms including Itaúsa and Cambuhy Investmentos.
