Havaianas Brings Brazil to California

Havaianas are the most popular flip-flops in the world, and now they’re bringing Brazilian style to California. Havaianas flip-flops became ultra-popular internationally for their comfortable rubber footbed and straps, and their durability – buy a pair of Havaianas, and you’ve got sandals for years.

It’s just been announced that Havaianas is going to launch the first-ever pop-up shop in California! Pop-up shops have been appearing in many cities across North America – basically, rather than renting out a prime spot and paying a hefty monthly fee, many businesses are taking advantage of these limited-time rentals where they can sell their stuff.

The new Havaianas space is situated in the 1000-square-foot Urban Outfitters rotating designer concept boutique (1520 North Cahuenga Boulevard). It’s decorated as a traditional Brazilian marketplace and sells the largest assortment of Havaianas in Los Angeles. Also available at the Havaianas pop-up shop: a unique graffiti collection and the new “Soul Collection” line.

“Los Angeles is the perfect city for Havaianas and through this partnership with our friends at Urban Outfitter’s, this Pop-Up shop is a stunning way of bringing a slice of Brazil’s vibrant culture to West Hollywood, “said Afonso Sugiyama, president of Havaianas USA.
