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.
