This year, Havaianas will take you through a colourful and exciting tour back to where it all started. As the brand celebrates its 50^th anniversary, Make Your Own Havaianas 2012 is geared to be the most special one yet. Havaianas will let you experience this through Make Your Own Havaianas’ exhibit.

Victor Basa drops by at the MYOH event with his coolest and newly customized Havaianas pair--- white studded straps and blue top soles.

“We believe that every Havaianas pair that you own has a story to tell. And all those stories combined from our fervent supporters play a big part in the brand’s history. For this reason, Make Your Own Havaianas will not just be a branding event where they can design their own pair, but a gathering that will honor everything that contributed in making the brand what it is now,” shares Anne Gonzalez, Managing Director of Havaianas Philippines.

ETC's Kim Jones is fashionably stunning with her newly customized havaianas pair --- baby blue top soles with letters and crystal studs on orange straps.

In true Havaianas fashion, self expression has never been this chic with its thirteen special pins that speak volumes of its heritage. The happiness, 1962, Brasilipinas, soccer ball, and crown designs among others, all trace back to its roots in Brazil.
