Havaianas Top Tropicalia Womens Sandal
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Brazilian Tropical Style in the Classic Top Silhouette
The Havaianas Top Tropicalia takes the brand's iconic Top flip flop and layers on a sole printed with lush imagery drawn from the Brazilian tropical coast. Palm trees, botanical scrollwork, and warm coastal tones are transferred directly onto the outsole, turning every step into a miniature postcard from Brazil. The look is finished with the Havaianas logo rendered in a metallic Zamac finish on the straps, giving the sandal a polished detail that sets it apart from a basic flip flop.
Havaianas has been crafting rubber sandals since 1962, originally inspired by the Japanese zori sandal. The name itself comes from the Portuguese word for "Hawaiians," and the brand's signature rice-grain texture on the footbed -- the one detail that has never changed -- remains the reference point for every silhouette in the lineup.
Construction and Materials
The Top Tropicalia is built on the same trusted material stack that made Havaianas a global staple. The flexible strap is 100% PVC, shaped in the brand's classic Y-thong configuration for a secure fit that stays comfortable across a full day at the beach or boardwalk. The outsole is 100% natural rubber, enhanced with a full transfer application -- substrate, paint, resins, and labels -- that carries the tropical print without adding stiffness or weight. The metallic Zamac logo hardware on the strap is a single piece of cast alloy that resists the corrosion and discoloration that cheaper metal accents develop after saltwater exposure.
The Havaianas Top Platform
The Top is Havaianas' foundational women's silhouette: a slim, low-profile footbed with minimal arch camber and a thin outsole that keeps the sandal lightweight and packable. It is the right choice when you want something that disappears into a beach bag, slips on effortlessly at the water's edge, and cleans up with a quick rinse. The Top Tropicalia extends that utility with a design that works equally well at a resort pool, a casual lunch, or a South Florida waterfront walk.
Care and Maintenance
Rinse with fresh water after saltwater or sand exposure. Allow to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can degrade the rubber outsole over time. The PVC strap can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid prolonged storage in direct sunlight to preserve the vibrancy of the outsole transfer print.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Havaianas Top Tropicalia?
- The Top Tropicalia is a womens flip flop built on Havaianas' classic Top silhouette. It features a 100% rubber outsole printed with a tropical-coast pattern inspired by the Brazilian coastline, a 100% PVC Y-thong strap, and a metallic Zamac Havaianas logo on the strap.
- What are Havaianas flip flops made of?
- Havaianas sandals use a 100% natural rubber outsole and 100% PVC straps. The Top Tropicalia also features metallic Zamac logo hardware on the strap and a full transfer print -- substrate, paint, resins, and labels -- on the sole.
- Are Havaianas good for the beach and water?
- Yes. The rubber outsole and PVC strap are both water-resistant and quick-drying, making Havaianas a practical choice for the beach, pool deck, or any wet-environment use. Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure and allow to air dry.
- How do Havaianas Top Tropicalia sandals fit?
- Havaianas fit true to size on a slim, low-profile footbed. The Y-thong strap holds the foot securely without rubbing. Use the variant picker to select your size and refer to the brand's standard sizing guidance for the best fit.
- What is the difference between Havaianas Top and other Havaianas styles?
- The Top is Havaianas' most streamlined silhouette: a thin, flat footbed with a minimal outsole profile and a clean Y-strap. It is the brand's most packable and lightweight option. The Tropicalia version adds the tropical-coast sole print and metallic logo hardware to this base.
- How should I care for my Havaianas sandals?
- Rinse with fresh water after saltwater or sand exposure and air dry in the shade. Wipe the PVC strap with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid drying near direct heat sources or storing in prolonged direct sunlight, as both can degrade the rubber and fade the transfer print over time.
