Havaianas

Rio de Janeiro


If you're out of ideas for gifts to take home, head to this sizable Havaianas shop, where the ubiquitous Brazilian rubber sandal comes in all different styles, sporting the flags of Brazil, Argentina, Portugal, England, Australia and Spain. There are snazzy designs for women, and even logo-bearing bags, key chains and beach towels.
