Havaianas
Two out of three Brazilians own a pair of Havaianas, and Australians would not be far behind. Such is the popularity of the brand that American Marie Claire magazine named Havaianas as one of the top 100 items of the ‘90s; and designer Marc Newson named Havaianas as one of the top four designs that “cannot be improved” along with the wheel, the jet engine, and the clock. Havaianas are not only the most successful product made in Brazil, but a world-wide phenomenon.
