Havaianas Crystal is one of the most sought-after designs for flip-flops here in the Philippines. Havaianas is not only a top selling brand for open type outdoor footwear here in the country but it’s one of the most popular international brand for flip-flops.

Other popular brands in the Philippines, as well as, other countries include Ipanema, Okabashi, Island slipper, Arugam Bay, and Waves. Amazingly, in Philippine society these branded flip-flops aid in improving an individual’s social status such that whoever wears expensive flip-flops are considered confident, famous (in their group), and cool.

Any Filipino would just love to get their hands on a pair of Havaianas flip-flops. I’m not really sure when this brand became famous here in the Philippines. But its popularity started back in 1998 when Havaianas, a brazilian company who manufactures flip-flops developed sandals for the World Cup showcasing the flag of Brazil on its design. I guess this is where it all started before the rave reached the Philippine shores.

Some tourists may wonder why Filipinos like to wear flip-flops so much. I think it’s because we always value comfort and style above anything else when it comes to dressing up. We are likely to exude confidence if we are comfortable with what we’re wearing. This brand is also not just any mediocre type of brand and everyone knows that.

The cost of each Havaianas here in the Philipines ranges from P400 to P1500. This is expensive for most Filipinos considering that it’s just a slipper. The simplest designs are the ones with no embellishments and in just one shade or color. The good thing is that Havaianas flip-flops are available almost anywhere in the country.

The easiest would be to go to the nearest mall like Ayala Center or SM City and other department stores. If you’re lucky, you may even check online to get a cheaper rate but the only disadvantage is that you’ll never know if the item is original or is just mere imitation of the original brand. Good luck finding your Havaianas Crystal and other designs!
