Flip-Flop Cup Holders

Multifunctional Sandals That Are Perfect for the Beach

Flip-flops are a summer time must have, but when they can do more than cushion your feet from the hot sand, it is like finding a goldmine.

Tommaso Colia designed these multifunctional flip-flops with beach goers in mind. “This is a pair of flip-flops with round shapes on the top. When you are at the beach, you can sit down and put your glass on them, he says. “They become a sort of flat ‘table,’ very stylish indeed, ideal to support glasses, dishes and all the aperitifs you like.”

Made from leather and wicker, these flip-flops are sure to keep your feet comfy and cozy.
