How often do you spot fun beach essentials in your hotel mini bar? Havaianas is introducing limited edition flip-flops at the Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs, CA, starting April 15th. The Havaianas Ace Hotel partnership conveniently provides guests with flip-flops—through their hotel room mini bar for $22. Very cool, especially if you’re heading to Coachella!
The design was inspired by simplicity and a return to the classics. The white rubber flip-flops with black straps pay homage to the original Havaianas design from 1962. Each pair features a pin modeled after the hotel’s signature coyote mascot that was custom designed by Ace Hotel & Swim Club Palm Springs for hotel guests and visitors. The flip-flops are made from Havaianas’ ultra-high quality, top-secret rubber recipe that makes the flip-flops as soft as marshmallows.
For those who aren’t heading to Palm Springs anytime soon but want in on this limited edition flip-flop, 50 pairs will also be available at the Havaianas website.
