About Ipanema Flip Flops

Ipanema Beach, Rio.

Ipanema is an endless white strip of sand in south Rio.

Home to the world's most beautiful people, it is the place to be seen in Brazil’s steaming mix of cool bars, hot clubs and bare beach culture. Latin rhythms and chilled bossa nova grooves are the soundtrack to the tropical days and the long hot nights.

This is the inspiration for Ipanema - Brazil’s favourite flip flops.

Ipanema is the choice of Brazilian goddess, supermodel and beach babe, Gisele Bundchen. She slips into her own range of beautiful Ipanemas to take her from beach to bar.

Only Ipanema flip flops are made from a unique buttersoft PVC suitable for vegetarians. Specialised moulding creates a sole that’s sublimely soft and guarantees you a perfectly padded underfoot. Industrial residues, painting residues, surplus PVC and the water used in production are 99% recycled. Whether you choose to stroll about all day, or only walk as far as the ice cream stall, you can be sure your feet will be in first-class comfort.
