Havaianas are truly, the best rubber sandals in the world. They are designed and manufactured by Sao Paulo Alpargatas S.A. The ultra-high quality of Havaianas is due to a top-secret rubber recipe created exclusively by Alpargatas. This highly guarded recipe makes the sandals soft as marshmallows, light, and highly durable. There are many knock-offs in the market place, but Havaianas customers know that there is no substitute for the authentic comfort and quality that only Brazil’s Havaianas can provide.

Since their creation in the 1960s, Alpargatas perfected the Havaianas collections with a large variety of fashionable colors and styles. Havaianas is seen on fashion runways around the world, as well as at the most prestigious events and retailers.

In June of 2007 Alpargatas Brazil announced the opening of a new showroom and corporate offices for Havaianas in the United States. The showroom is located in Soho, near Diesel, Burberry, and across from Longchamp. For Alpargatas, it is the first showroom and combined corporate offices in the US—all part of a major global initiative designed to expand the company’s reach outside Brazil. Havaianas communicates joy, freedom and happiness---who wouldn’t be excited to wear them?
