Havaianas flip-flops (pronounced ah-vai-YAH-nas) were first designed in 1962; however, the idea for the sandals was originally inspired from a popular Japanese style of flip-flop, and because of this influence, to this day they still feature that characteristic textured rice pattern. From the very beginning, the Brazilian company Alpargatas was responsible for the design, manufacturing, and marketing of Havaianas flip flops, and to this day, they hold the key secret behind the flip-flops' unique comfort and design.
