Fake Havaianas

I went shopping last week to buy a pair of flip flops. I came across a boutique which sells different brands of slippers. I searched for the flip flops I was looking for. As I was searching, I noticed a pair of havaianas. I was in a bliss to see that they were selling havaianas because it was the first store I found selling havaianas in our town.

The pairs of havaianas were lovely. They look fashionable and fabulous. But then when I looked at its price, I was shocked. They only cost a little more than a hundred pesos. What? That's when I realized that these flip flops were fake. They were just purely imitation.

On the first look, they seem to be genuine ones. They look the same in terms of the sole, the straps, the brand, the logo and even the tag. But If you'll examine it closely, you'll be able to spot the difference between the genuine and the imitation. The imitation is not as soft as the genuine. The straps were not perfectly cut. The brand, I mean the word havaianas do not look as perfectly done.

This case is alarming. The manufacturers of these fake flip flops do not have the right to imitate havaianas or any other brand for that matter. Let us not support these fake products.
