Gone are the days where flip flops are your usual staple item in beach getaways. Why, you could wear your flip-flops inside the bar and the only thing people notice are the cute pins stuck to your Havaianas! See below the Make Your Own Havaianas Media and VIP Event Night last August 13, Thursday, the night before the event was open to the public. Big Seed Media tandem Jaja Rama and April Rama held court to this season’s anticipated event while hosts Aimil Sarmiento and Leanne Florendo entertained Havaianaticos who took turns having their customized pair of Havaianas made.

How to Make Your Own Havaianas:

1. Get the order form/menu from the lovely ladies of Havaianas who are wearing black.

2. Place a check mark at your choices. Havaianas Tops/Slims, Straps and pins. Color wheel present.
3. Bring order form to the counters manned by the Havaianas staff who will poke through your soles and pin your love for tarsiers, jeepneys and Swarovski jewels.
5. Checkout at the counter near the entrance where you will be given your own Havaianas dust bag. It also comes with a luggage tag shaped as a Havaianas flip-flop.

The gueslist is the event’s highlight as media and VIP people alike hover around the Wheel of Flip-flops that they get to mix and match their Havaianas pair with colorful and delightful straps.
