HAVAIANAS X MISSONI
Havaianas sandals are a Brazilian-based company known for comfort, fun and style. The first pair of Havaianas was born in 1962. It was inspired by the zori, typical Japanese sandals made of fabric straps and rice straw soles. It is for this reason that the foot-bed of all Havaianas have a textured rice pattern, one of its many unmistakable features. Havaianas takes their name from the Portuguese word for “Hawaiians.” Designer, Sao Paulo Alpargatas, fabricate Havaianas sandals out of a secret rubber formula making them ultra soft, light and highly durable. Since the end of the ‘80s, the brand hasn’t stopped creating fashion trends. New prints, colors and models make them fashionably hip with a hint of the beach lifestyle. Havaianas are seen on fashion runways around the world, as well as at the most prestigious events and retailers.
