Japan & Shibori at Make Your Own Havaianas 2016 #MYOH2016

One of the events I look forward to every year is MYOH or Make Your Own Havaianas. I get giddy from excitement whenever I get my invite or whenever I see announcements or posters online. I'm a huge fan of the brand and I always bring a pair with me whenever I travel. It's one of my travel staples. This year, Havaianas paid homage to its origin with a Shibori-inspired theme and it's just perfect timing because Ana, Sarah and I are heading to the land of the rising sun this June! :) Photos and stories from the event below...

Photodiary: Make Your Own Havaianas 2015 #MYOH2015

So glad I was able to attend this year's press launch of the most awaited event, Make Your Own Havaianas or #MYOH2015! Missed it last year because of work and vowed to go this year whatever happens. Lol. Here are photos from the launch! 

Nico's pair! Very him. Mala Lito Atienza. Haha.

Make Your Own Havaianas 2014 VIP Invite Giveaway!

My favorite time & event of the year has come! Havaianas brings Brazil to the Philippines through Make Your Own Havaianas 2014. As the summer season hits full throttle, it’s that special time of the year when Havaianas gives us the creative license to decorate this season’s must-have accessory—flip-flops. 

In its ninth year, Make Your Own Havaianas returns to its Brazilian roots. After all, flip-flops were made to perfectly complement the Brazilian vibrant lifestyle: vivacious, expressive, adventurous, and always the life of the party. 

The thrill in this full-customization event comes in the ability to mix and match everything: from the soles and the straps, to color combinations inspired by street art, and to the fun limited edition pins – all exhibiting Brazil.

Inspired by a 200-year old tradition from Brazil, this year’s commemorative pair features colorful Bonfim wish ribbons that are worn for good luck. The print wishes every wearer Alegria, Diversao, Empolgacao, Euforia, and Felicidade or Joy, Amusement, Excitement, Euphoria and Bliss – true to the Havaianas always summer spirit.

This year’s event is made even bigger and more accessible. At the heart of Makati, Make Your Own Havaianas 2014 will take place in its new home at the Glorietta Activity Center from May 8 (Thursday) to 11 (Sunday), 2014 open from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM on weekdays, and 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM on weekends. There will be no entrance fee so everyone is welcome to customize their own Havaianas and celebrate the streets of Brazil.
