Havaianas

Havaianas is a Brazilian brand of flip-flop sandals created by Scotsman Robert Fraser in 1962. Inspired by Japanese zōri sandals, Fraser became the first to mass-produce flip-flops out of rubber. The name Havaianas is derived from the feminine form of the Portuguese word for "Hawaiians", and the pattern on the soles of the sandals is designed to resemble the straw soles of zōri. Because of their simplicity and low price, the sandals became popular with Brazil's lowest social classes
