How much are they??? £20 or something? When they're only about 3 quid, in Brazil? What a proper rip-off. And before they became trendy, they cost a lot less.
I can't believe people are paying £20 for a pair of basic mass-produced flip-flops. You do realise they are nothing better than most other rubber flip-flops, don't you? £2 a pair down my local market.
The whole point, if you really want to appear 'cool' and trendy', is to have been to Brasil, and picked up a pair at local prices. Or at least had a pair bought for you there.
Ebay have some at £8-9 a pair, which is a lot more reasonable.
£20 for a pair of **** flip flops; the World's gone mayd!

Then that's perfectly ok, then, tomzo!
I first saw a pair a few years ago; a flatmate had a pair she got from a trip to South America. Then I noticed them becoming more popular, here. And when I saw a pair in a shop, for £20, I just thought 'that's utterly ridiculous'.
Some people are just stupid fashion whores, mind, and will pay owt for what they perceive to be 'cool'.

Admittedly I do completely agree with you. £20 on rubber flip flops is expensive! It's weird how certain brands do so well in becoming the "only one worth having" with relatively little advertising? Havaianas for flip flops, Weber for BBQ's, Ray ban for sunglasses etc etc.

Five or six years ago it was quite viable to finance a good portion of a trip to Brazil by bringing back a couple of dozen or so pair of Havaianas in your backpack.
I'm not normally a big backer of 'rip off uk' syndrome either, but it's a bit odd that havaianas are only about 10 dollars in the US as well.It's weird how certain brands do so well in becoming the "only one worth having" with relatively little advertising?
Not sure how 'relatively little advertising' and 'rayban' fit in the same sentence.

ok excusing ray bans (although its only in the last few years that they've had all these random parties, opening do's and gigs, no?). But I've never seen an advert for Weber or Havaianas.

I think it's probbly 'cos some celeb was photied wearing a pair, and then 'fashion editors' pick up on this, and before you know it, they're the latest 'must-have'.
Nowt wrong with them; they're fairly decent quality flip-flops, but £20 a pair? You must be on Crack.
