About Havaianas
Havaianas, the iconic Brazilian brand of flip-flop, has become over the past decades a symbol of a life-style, a way of being, a state of mind. Born in 1962, Havaianas reached an established success in Brazil in the 80's and started becoming an international mania in the late 90's. In 2007/2008, the second phase of the brand's international expansion began, by establishing its proprietary operation in Manhattan for the US business and in Madrid (Alpargatas European Headquarters) for Europe. Nowadays, Havaianas fully represents the carefree, joyful and easy going Brazilian spirit anywhere in the world.
