MANILA, Philippines – Havaianas, one of the world's most famous flip-flop brands, set foot in the Philippines more than a decade ago, and still continues to meet the feet of many Filipino fans, selling the comfortable pair in all All Flip Flops stores nationwide and now, at their very first own flagship branch in Metro Manila.

On Friday, June 28, Havaianas celebrated this feat (pun intended) by launching their brand-new, summer-themed store in Bonifacio Global City, the sole branch that houses their most complete collection of flip-flops – all 3,000 of them.

A wide range of designs are available – fit for children, cartoon fans, the minimalistic dressers, and the pattern-obsessed. There are flip-flops inspired by Stranger Things, Disney movies, animal prints, summer, Powerpuff Girls, and many more.
