Havaianas

Havaianas slippers was something I wanted to get while in Brazil, so I was delighted to come across this branch in the Boavista Shopping Center! The shop is small if you compare it to other shops in this mall, but it was a good size as most of the slippers for sale were displayed hanging on the wall. There were a variety of styles available for women, men, and kids in addition to accessories such as beach bags, towels, and keychains near the register. I loved that there were at least 3 stools that you could use to take off your current shoes and try on Havaianas at!
Although the store employees at this particular branch didn’t really know English, they were still friendly and willing to help! I could tell they were trying really hard to answer my questions (mostly about color/​size availability) as they were translating words on their phones. They even helped show me how much my items were going to cost by pointing to the item and the item cost on the register so I could follow along as they rang me up.
I ended up getting 2 pairs of slippers, one magnet, and 4 cell phone charms and this only set me back about $ 30 USD. And like most Brazilian places, the store accepted credit card for payment. Considering that Havaianas are usually pretty expensive in the US, this was a great deal! I’ll be back to this branch for sure if I stay in Santo Amaro again… if not I’ll find another location that will hopefully have the great selection and service that this Boavista location has!
TL;DR — located in Boavista, wide selection, and much cheaper Havaianas compared to US prices!
