After going viral last summer, Dolce & Gabbana and Havaianas are returning with a second drop of their luxury flip-flop collaboration on May 14, marking the conclusion of the Italian fashion house and the Brazilian sandal brand‘s capsule.
The collaborators reimagine the common thong sandal into an elevated style statement for summer with vibrant prints, furry straps, goldtone co-branding and other touches.

The collection also incorporates new styles of Havaianas sandals featuring Dolce & Gabbana’s prints, designs and signature materials.
The styles feature floral and tropical patterns with handmade elements, celebrating Brazilian craftsmanship. As an ode to Dolce & Gabbana, the flip-flops include the brand’s signature touches, wild leopard and zebra animal prints, gold accents and faux-fur straps.
Havaianas and Dolce & Gabbana’s reunion follows the success of their first limited-edition collection, released in June 2024, which sold out in 24 hours.
In Brazil, 94 percent of people own at least one pair at home. Each year, the company sells more than 230 million pairs of slippers worldwide, according to the brand. Havaianas debuted supermodel Gigi Hadid as its new global brand ambassador in March along with a colorful campaign shot.
“To be the Havaianas global ambassador is surreal, and a bit nostalgic,” Hadid told WWD. “Growing up at the beach, I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t wearing this summer staple. I’m excited to be working with this team and I love that Havaianas is making a comeback.”
The Dolce & Gabbana and Havaianas limited-edition footwear collaboration will be available to shop starting Wednesday, online at dolcegabbana.com and havaianas.com, as well as in select Havaianas stores and retailers.
