Havaianas!!!

Who here has heard of the Brazillian style flip flops Havaianas? Generally, it is mostly the poeple that have taken a gap year, and found them on there travels, but i'm just wondering the general awareness of them? You know, the ones with the small brazillian flag? Personally, I love them, but noone in this country appears to have heard of them!?!?!?

I'm sorry but this is one moment where I have to laugh... saw them for sale in Italy for 18 euro, they cost 10 reais tops here (which means a little over 2 euro :biggrin:

)
We're not allowed to wear thm for school anymore though :frown:

I know, I agree they are expensive here, the cheapest you can get them for is about £12.00 including postage (which is basically only from the site named above), which isn't too bad, I think they are worth it, and at least it keeps them fairly unique!

Got a few pairs, all cost me a couple of quid. Unlike the 19.99 rip-off merchants named Schuh. :rolleyes:

Oh Man I used to have those all the time as a kid. Always had the piss taken because they were the cheap flip flops...
I had a lovely rainbow pair and a blue pair.
