Few footwear styles capture the carefree spirit of summer quite like the flip-flop—long loved for its ease, versatility, and unfussy cool. And the brand best known for them? That would be Havaianas, of course. Whether styled with a white tee and jeans à la Hailey Bieber or paired with a string bikini and sarong for sandy beach days ahead, the warm-weather staple has become a favorite among fashion people and designers alike.
On May 22, Isabel Marant and Havaianas will unveil their inaugural summer collaboration: four flip-flop styles ranging from tie-dyed pairs to studded sandals. With Vogue First, Vogue Shopping readers will get exclusive access to shop the drop 48 hours before anyone else.

When Havaianas first approached Marant with the idea, it took little convincing. Like most, the designer was not only a fan of the brand, but also a longtime wearer herself. “To me, they represent the Brazilian quintessence of joy, freedom, and summer nonchalance,” she tells Vogue.
Reimagined with sturdier soles wrapped in soft leather and finished with chunky rounded metallic studs, two of the four styles perfectly capture Marant’s signature edgy aesthetic, while the others put her bold use of color and bohemian-inspired prints firmly on display. Her goal? To create a simple yet “luxurious flip-flop designed to be worn from day to night and from beach to town—even ending at a party!”
