Spring into eternal summer with comfy flip flops and watch out for this year’s Make Your Own Havaianas caravan!

 

Aside from ice cream, shorts, tank tops and plenty of vitamin D, Havaianas is also one of the day to day basics in a tropical setting like ours. Each pair of this slip-on thongs comes in a rainbow of shades to match any outfit theme or outdoor activity, plus a shock-absorbing midsole and a durable rubber outsole for a steady step all throughout your journey. Whether you're building sand castles in the beach or sashaying through the mall, Havaianas will keep you light on your feet all season long.

 

This well-loved brand of trendy slip-on’s paints the town once again as it opens its annual interactive event for a special limited run this month of September.

 

 

Make Your Own Havaianas brings in the element of fun as it sparks up creativity in every individual. This event has also become a favorite among locals, who enjoy living the spirit of fashion, self-expression and imagination. There’s the thrill of creating your own pair, customized with your choice of colorful sole and straps inspired by street art, added with sundry quirky pins.

 

This year’s highlight is the commemorative pair featuring colorful Bonfirms --- Brazilian wish ribbons that are worn for good luck. The print symbolizes wishes for joy, amusement, excitement, euphoria and bliss to anyone who wears the limited edition pair.

 

Havaianas makes MYOH more special for Davaoeños this year with its limited edition Davao pin, created by the world-renowed illustrator, Macky Pamintuan.

 

“This partnership with Macky is a perfect fit,” says Marga Nograles, Managing Partner of Martish Marketing Company, exclusive sub-distributor for Southern and Eastern Mindanao. “Not only was he born and raised in Davao, he also lives the same Havaianas spirit of fun through his happy and colorful illustrations.”

True enough, Macky was able to come up with a design that is a fitting representation of Davao. The MYOH Philippine Eagle pin is reflective of the city’s rich and colorful ecosystem, and stands for the Filipinos’ indomitable spirit.
