Created in Brazil in 1962, Havaianas was originally inspired by the Japanese Zori sandal. Havaianas replaced the traditional straw sole of the Zori with premium Brazilian rubber and updated the design to a more fashionable look.
Christened with the name Havaianas, which means ‘Hawaiian’ in Portuguese in honour of the glamorous holiday destination with endless summer vibes, the brand is currently available in over 100 countries
As the number one selling flip-flop brand in New Zealand, Summer Supply works across all local touchpoints for the brand, from logistics to retail partners, as well as establishing and managing its flagship Britomart store and e-commerce site.
