havaianas makes the world’s best rubber
flip-flops—iconic, colorful,
and endlessly comfortable.
vibrant history
born in Brazil in 1962, the name havaianas means "hawaiians" in Portuguese—a nod to laid-back island life. inspired by the clean, minimalist style of Japanese zori sandals, havaianas brings together zen simplicity and Brazilian spirit.

a traditional Japanese sandal with cloth straps and woven rice straw soles. Havaianas replaced the straw with rubber, updated the design to look modern, and the rest is history! So where did the name “Havaianas” come from? Well, in Portuguese, the name translates to “Hawaiians” and it was chosen to honour the tropical and glamourous vacay destination with endless summer vibes.
