Havaianas is introducing [limited edition flip-flops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reef-x-ebony-beach-club) at the Ace Hotel & Swim Club in Palm Springs, CA, starting April 15th. The [Havaianas Ace Hotel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maximalist-summer-flipflops) partnership conveniently provides guests with flip-flops—through their [hotel room mini bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shampoohotel) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hotel Mini Bar Retail:** Hotels can increase their revenue by partnering with retail brands to offer fun, unique essentials like flip-flops via mini bars in hotel rooms. - **Limited Edition Novelty Products:** Brands can attract attention and increase demand by releasing limited edition products with unique designs and custom features for hotel guests and visitors. - **Luxury Beachwear:** There is an opportunity for high-end fashion brands to disrupt the beachwear industry by producing luxury flip-flops and other beach essentials using innovative materials and designs. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Hospitality Industry:** Hotels can partner with retail brands to offer guests fun, unique essentials like flip-flops via mini bars in hotel rooms, increasing their revenue and guest satisfaction. - **Fashion and Accessories Industry:** The fashion industry can capitalize on the trend of limited edition, custom designed products for hotels by producing luxury beachwear using innovative materials and designs. - **Retail Industry:** Retailers can partner with hotels to provide guests with exclusive, limited edition products through hotel mini bars, creating a unique shopping experience and increasing brand awareness. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Maximalist Summer Flip-Flops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maximalist-summer-flipflops.md) - [Collaborative Premium Flip-Flops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/printed-sandal.md) - [Floral Flip Flop Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loveshackfancy-x-havaianas.md) - [3d-Printed Collab Flip Flops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-flipflops.md) - [Ergonomic 3D-Printed Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-flip-flops.md) - [Limited-Edition Beach Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reef-x-ebony-beach-club.md) - [Pool Slide Heeled Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipped-flop.md) - [Waffle-Inspired Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chaco-x-waffle-house.md) - [Rooftop Pool Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/htel-swexan-x-missoni.md)
