History

Founded in 1962 by the company Alpargatas, Havaianas were inspired by traditional Japanese Zori sandals made of rice straw. Initially marketed as affordable footwear for the Brazilian working class, the brand gained cultural significance through its patented rubber composition. In the 1990s, a shift in design and global distribution integrated the sandals into high-fashion contexts. This transition established the flip-flop as a staple of casual international dress and a symbol of Brazilian national identity.
