April 10, 2014 by Angie. S 60 Comments

People associate Brazil with Passion, Life and Colours: Samba, Bossa Nova, Carnivale, Soccer, World Cup (Pele, Ronaldo, and Ronaldinho) and its original and best-selling flip flops – Havaianas. Havaianas is so popular because it embodies the fun, vibrant and spontaneous way of Brazilian life. Many friends I know swear by Havaianas for its style and comfort. Till today, every pair of Havaianas is still lovingly designed and crafted in Brazil. Ever since Dana was gifted with her first pair last year, there was no turning back. It’s one of her favorite footwear and she would even want to wear it to school, to church, and everywhere if we let her.
