Flip-flop mastars Havaianas have teamed up with high-end accessories brand Pinel & Pinel to create some luxurious flip-flops.

Firstly, I have to point out that this is a slightly odd collaboration to be dropping bang in the middle of Winter. However, you could always go cop them in advance for the Summer? Personally I don’t know what they were thinking, clearly they weren’t thinking about timing anyway. What they were evidently thinking about was quality and construction, with the classic Havaianas base and Pinel & Pinel branded crocodile skin straps, you would be hard pushed to find a more luxurious flip-flop, if there is such a thing.

These limited edition pieces of Summer footwear will be available from Dover Street Market in the very near future.
