Make Your Own Havaianas - I did!

The Make Your Own Havaianas booth arrived instore in BT2 Grafton Street on Friday 4th June.

I had absolutely no intention of going to town on Friday until the Vodafone Ireland StreetUp in Dakota was announced. I needed that Swarm badge! So on my way to Dakota by the law’s of physics, well kinda, not really… I couldn’t pass by the door of BT2 knowing the Havaianas Bar had arrived… now that would be rude!

So in I went and this is what I saw! (Apologies for photo quality, I only had my iPhone with me)

As you can see from the photos, there is a fantastic range of colours to choose from.

I went in with the plan to purchase pink ones, surprise surprise… However after chatting to the very helpful lady, and because I already have a purple pair from last year that I would go for a neutral look with some pink bling

I was a little disappointed with the choice of pins / badges. The lettering is quite boring, its a simple lower case font on a black background so I decided against getting any of those. I opted for a clear bling star on one, & a clear bling heart on the other, nice & girlie with a signature pink Swarovski in each.

I <3 them, I was showing them off in Dakota on Friday night and I wore them at the weekend non stop (yes, even in the rain!)

At first I found them not quite as comfy as my purple pair however I manoeuvred the straps and I am much happier. There was a tiny piece on the left strap that was digging in to my tootsie so I filed it with a nail file gently and it worked!

The price: so they start at €25, my sole & strap came to €30 which included one of the pins, then I added another pin €2, and the Swarovski pins were €3 each so total was €38… Considering they cost €30 with no bling I’m pretty happy with the price.

All in all I say is get to BT2 Grafton Street asap & make your own! The booth is there for the full month of June.

Make Your Own Havaianas at BT2 this June

Havaianas Booth coming to BT2

This has been covered on many blogs but as a massive Havaianas fan I had to include it on Mwah.ie

I have a gorgeous purple pair which I have worn to death last Summer and already this year. Now with the chance to personalise my own pair in town I am there! Not only are they great to look at & available in a rainbow of colours but they are also sooooo comfy!

To ensure you don’t put a foot wrong this summer, BT2 Grafton Street is delighted to bring ‘Make Your Own Havaianas’ (MYOH) to Dublin. The service, which until now was only available in Selfridges in London, allows customers to customize any pair of the cult Brazilian flip flops in different colour soles and straps.

The onsite customising booth has over 100 killer colour combinations of soles and straps to choose from, plus straps can be decorated with a selection of over twenty five various pins ranging from hearts and stars to quirkier designs, for example; fruits, animals and flags.

There is also a selection of Swarovski crystals to add some ‘bling’ & make each pair truly unique which is sure to be a favourite with the girls. With over 900 combinations of straps, soles, pins & crystals, the possibilities are endless for personalizing these summer must haves!

The Make Your Own Havaianas will be instore in BT2 Grafton Street from Friday, June 4^th and are priced from €25. Celebrity fans of the customised footwear include Victoria Beckham, Dannii Minogue and Patsy Kensit.

Not sure I’ll make it to into BT2 on Friday but I will hopefully get there at some stage over the weekend and I will do a follow up post
