Shoppers are obsessing over this $40 Kmart offering sold for a steal at just $6!
- Replies 12
The Australian summer is synonymous with beach trips, barbecues, and, of course, the iconic Havaianas thongs. These flip-flops, known for their comfort and durability, are a staple in every Aussie's wardrobe.
However, their price tag, which usually ranges between $40 and $60, can be a deterrent for some. But not this season, as Kmart has shoppers awestruck by offering these beloved thongs for a mere $6!
The footwear was part of Kmart's Black Friday sale, where they were initially marked down to $12.
However, the retailer further slashed the price by 50 per cent, making these summer essentials available for just $6. Despite the sale ending weeks ago, some lucky customers are still finding these discounted thongs in stores.
One shopper from Perth was thrilled to find a pair of pink and rose gold Havaianas, which usually retail for $40, for just $6.
Another customer spotted a range of Havaianas in various colours, including pink, brown, black, and navy blue. A third shopper even found a $6 pair for kids.
The news of this incredible deal spread like wildfire among Havaianas fans, with many applauding the 'score' and rushing to their nearest Kmart to grab a pair.
'They were a part of their Black Friday sale. Good score!!' one woman commented, while another added: 'Winning!'.
However, not everyone was convinced about the authenticity of these discounted Havaianases. Some shoppers expressed scepticism about the quality of the thongs and questioned whether they were genuine Havaianas.
'I've noticed lately they have different makes. The ones you can get at BIG W are different from the ones at…Havaianas or [the] surf shop. You can tell in the pic that the [sole] shape is different between the two and they definitely feel different,' one user said.
'These are knock-offs. Proper Havies will last and if they don't, return them to the retailer you bought them from, along with proof of purchase,' another user claimed.
The History and Popularity of Havaianas
Havaianas, a Brazilian brand, has been producing their iconic flip-flops since 1962. The design was inspired by the traditional Japanese Zori sandal, with the rice grain pattern on the sole paying homage to the original design.
Over the years, Havaianas have become a global phenomenon, loved for their durability, comfort, and wide range of colours and styles.
In Australia, Havaianas have become a symbol of the laid-back beach culture. Introduced in the late ‘90s Down Under, they are said to be a must-have for the summer season, perfect for beach trips, backyard barbecues, and casual outings.
The brand's popularity has even led to the creation of 'Havaianas Thong Day', celebrated on Australia Day, where thousands of Aussies hit the beach wearing their favourite Havaianas.
