Havaeianas and Other SlipperBrands~ DISCUSS

[vudu.formo.paseo]

I spoke to one of the distributors. Here's how to know if its a fake:

For the normal styles (the flat ones), try bending it. it should reach from end to end and bounce back into shape when released.

The rubber is much softer. Never trust those sellers who say it's original but just "Made in China" coz duh Havaianas are made in Brazil.

The tag should have a hologram.

The strap should not be made of plastic and its thicker.

Otherwise, dont be fooled by 100-300 peso "Havaianas" unless you buy them in Brazil coz it sells there for that price. Otherwise, you'd be better off buying the stylized Banana Peel and Islander slippers at those prices.

Hope this helps.

no man. i think there are really 'imit' havaianas around but i have yet to see one. my officemate is making pautang some havaianas and it's for 400 bucks and it's 1 month to pay. it's really cheap. i have yet to see her stocks if its imit or not and it's coming this monday... i'll post updates as soon as i see the stocks....

i don think they are original! havaianas in the first place is the right spelling of the slippers. An incorrect spelling suggests a immitative nature. These slippers are only made in Brazil and are exported all over the world. P600 is the cheapest cost and this pertains to the simplest and plain design only. Havaianas has been a trend as footwear in going to malls and some casual places and not only in beaches. In the Philippines, its Rustans who was able to get the main distributor's license.

inagoddess, kaila jud ko nimu. i know kinsa na officemate imu pasabot na sell ug fake na havaianas.
for me ha, mahal ra kaayo nang 400 even if 1 month to pay. i even have this officemate, who ordered havaianas na high color pink. but kaila kag dili pariha katas-a. ang isa mas taas pa iyang pair.

what do you call that havaianas na flat na naa gani design na zebra stripes, naa baligya sa what a girl wants? naa pa nagbaligya ana karon sa uban distributor?

I'd like to clarify this, Rustan's didnt get the main distributors license. Its terry S.A. Rustans is only a retailer.

@Elikor- its simply called zebra prints.

Limited edition Havaianas metallic stripes in salmon with gold straps and violet with silver straps thats only available in
Fine Living Boutique and not available in any retailer in Cebu
