Oh yes, whoever said flip flops weren’t fashionable? They are so fashionable they are putting up their own social event such as the one held last time in Ayala last October 12-16 –five long days of advertising, selling and patronizing these Brazilian rubber soles that robbed empty thousands of Cebu that week - the Make Your Own Havaianas Event.

First, is to select a sole.

Then a strap.

Adorn it with pins, Swarovski crystals, and buttons.

Then the finished product! Just to get a pair is P795 and each button/pin is P50 each. My, my… a day’s wage for a pair of those Havaianas flipflops..
