The icon, remixed: havaianas and Gimaguas reinterpret the Flip-Flop with a daring leg warmer
- Marking their third successful collaboration, the brands expand their partnership language with an inventive new silhouette. For the first time, their co-created piece will be available to buy in selected stores across Europe.
December, 2025 —In a partnership that celebrates creativity and elevates footwear customization to a whole new level, havaianas, the Brazilian brand responsible for transforming the flip-flop into a global lifestyle icon, introduces a new exclusive collaboration with Gimaguas. Following the organic success of their previous drops—both of which went viral on Instagram and TikTok and caught the attention of high-profile celebrities and fashion crowds—this third release transforms a familiar icon into an unexpected fashion piece. It’s an evolution of the creative partnership that began as a non-commercial experiment and now arrives as a wearable expression of that shared vision. Centered on the Havaianas’ classic Top design, named the hottest product of Q3 2025 by the latest Lyst Index, the flip-flops feature a leather boot strap.
The black Top is paired with Gimaguas’ handcrafted leather leg warmers, gaining a sophisticated twist. Finished with silver eyelets, a signature of the Barcelona-based brand, the accessory slips on easily and anchors around the feet and toes. Through texture, contrast, and volume, the design transforms the iconic Havaianas silhouette into a transeasonal piece, made to be worn all year round, and translating the spirit of summer into new contexts.
In addition to the custom flip-flops, produced in limited numbers, the collection will come in exclusive packaging created for the occasion, featuring a special dust bag with the collaboration’s logo.
With this drop, the collaboration moves confidently into a more product-focused and fashion-driven territory. The leg warmer elevates the everyday flip-flop into a statement of style and intention, maintaining the spontaneous, free-spirited energy that defines both brands while expanding the meaning of an icon.
Havaianas x Gimaguas collection launches on December 4th. For the first time, their co-created product will be available at gimaguas.com and havaianas-store.com. The limited-edition retails for €150.
