Make Your Own Havaianas 2015

Back in May, I was invited by Spruce to attend the 10th annual Make Your Own Havaianas event at SM CDO. For this year, Havaianas went Hawaiian for that fun tropical vibe.

Fun Fact: Havaianas means “Hawaiian” in Portuguese!

Havaianas is a line of flipflops that is famous worldwide for their quality, comfort and style. Revolutionizing the fashion trend in the 90′s, they started to make flipflops in exuberant colors and fun designs.

As a homage to its Hawaiian inspiration, the event kicked off with hula dancers moving to the rhythmic beat of the drums.

And just like everyone else, I waited (im)patiently in line for my turn.

Customizing flipflops is a very simple process. But with endless possibilities, it’s in the choosing that makes it difficult. I absolutely took my time to think about what sole, straps and pins I wanted to go together.

In the end, I decided to get sunny yellow soles and icy blue straps with pineapple and aloha pins for my pair.

The first step in assembling my flipflops was fastening my pins of choice onto the straps.

The next and final step was attaching the straps to the soles.

Finally, when it’s all done, this is how my flipflops look next to my boyfriend’s pair.

You can get your own pair of Havaianas at Spruce Iligan. They are located on the second floor of PYB Residence Building, corner Zamora and Lluch Streets.
