The spectacular beach neighborhood of Ipanema in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is the inspiration behind the innovative Ipanema footwear line, a collection that blends the relaxed feel of a seaside lifestyle with the sophistication of city glamour. Flip-flops and sandals with the Ipanema name are coveted for their creative, yet comfortable styles rendered in a super-soft, durable rubber, which is made exclusively for the brand using recycled and sustainable materials.
