Havaianas and the Citizens of Summer

For summer aficionados who live in tropical countries like the Philippines, fashion trends come and go, but summer never goes out of style.

On the 6th year of Make Your Own Havaianas, these ambassadors of the sun take time to share how they make summer last forever.
