Make Your Own Awesome HAVAIANAS 2013! @HavaianasPhils

Make Your Own Havaianas is one of the most anticipated events every summer in Manila where you can customize your own pair of Havaianas. You can choose the colors of the sole and the strap that you like and add limited edition pins to the strap to personalize it.

Here are some tips on Making Your Own Awesome Havaianas this summer 2013: 

Make Your Own Havaianas (MYOH for short) runs from May 2 to May 5, 2013 starting at 10am onward at the Rockwell Tent, Power Plant Mall, Makati.

I would recommend that you already have a design in mind before you attend the MYOH event.

You can choose the different colors of the sole, the strap, and different pins with prices below:

Top Sole and Basic Strap: P895.00
Top Sole and Metallic Strap: P945.00
Slim Sole and Metallic Strap: P945.00 

Pin Designs:
Sun, Alien, Owl, Spacesuit, Rocket Shaka, Left Wing, Right Wing, Winged Skull, Hot Air Balloon, and Bow – P100.00/each

Bicycle, 3 Stars, Paisley, Heart, Crystal Green, Crystal Blue, Crystal Plain – P150.00/each 

 
You can also choose Dan Matutina’s Glow-in-the-Dark Havaianas Commemorative pair at P995.00.

My wife Rache selected the Pool Green Sole with Silver Metallic Strap.

She preferred to put plain crystals and 3 stars pins on one side of the strap. She also decided to put a heart and hot air balloon pins on the left sole + paisley and sun pins on the right sole.

Thanks to Nadine for creating the Make Your Own Havaianas pair for my wife 🙂

For me, I usually prefer simple designs like Black Sole with Amazonia “Animo Green” Strap.

I chose the left and right wing pins with the spacesuit, rocket, alien pins highlights.

TIP: Make sure that pins are spaced properly with the right orientation.

Thanks to Eros for making my Make Your Own Havaianas pair entitled, “Fly Me to Space & Beyond.”

Check out the Havaianas-inspired Cake designs by Cupcakes by Sonja, 

 
Hot-Air Balloon-inspired Cake and Hot Air Ballon made from Havaianas, and

Havaianas Sunflowers to brighten up the event 🙂

(Did you know that the Havaianas owners partnered with Sonja Ocampo to expand the Cupcakes by Sonja around the Metro?)

I love the fun and youthful playful vibe in every MYOH event 🙂

Congratulations to Havaianas Philippines for another awesome Make Your Own Havaianas event!
