The person who brought and introduced Havaianas in the country is definitely a clever and scintillating marketeer. He/She knew it would be a hit. Wearing this in public was once a taboo, but now, everyone seemed to acquire the kick out of these rubber slippers. Which by the way cost eight hundred bucks to one grand! Despite its expensiveness, Havaianas is continually patronized by almost every Filipino, which is actually not surprising at all.
