Tradition has it that if the sandal crop is particularly bountiful and full of color, the village maidens will be particularly receptive to nights of loving bliss in the Spring with some lucky young strapping young men.

But, like most traditions, this isn't really true. A big harvest of sandals means that more slightly and not so slightly obese young women will be tromping around the mall in their colorful footwear, chatting on a cellphone with the girlfriend standing next to them, making catty remarks about the goofy looking geeks hanging out by the Cinnabon franchise on level 2.

Does that mean Havaianas grow on trees?

Nice outdoor concept in South Africa ! Johannesburg is the largest man made forest in the world. But at winter, colours disappears.. On the first day of spring, Havaianas decided to give mother nature a helping hand.
