There are many things to look forward to in April. It's one of the hottest months of the year but it's alright because summer activities are in full swing. In Japan, it's the time when cherry blossoms are in full bloom. This year, it's the time for the biggest flip-flops customization event in the country, Make Your Own Havaianas, where Havaianaticos can customize their own flip-flops by mixing and matching colorful soles, straps and pins!
It's no secret that Havaianas was born in Brazil in 1962. Unknown to many, is that the very first flip-flop was inspired by the Zori, a type of Japanese slipper made of fabric straps and rice straw roles. Havaianas flip-flops as we know them today still show marks of these iconic rice patterns. Havaianas is truly the child of eastern Zen and western joy!
Now on its 11th year, MYOH goes back to its Japanese roots with an experience that will take Havaianaticos to the land of the rising sun from April 22 to 24 at SM City Cabanatuan, Activity Area.
Here's a first look at this year's Shibori-inspired limited edition commemorative pair available in top and slim soles. Shibori is a Japanese-inspired fabric-dyeing technique. The design goes perfectly with a selection of kawaii pins - zori, empress, ramen and more!
