isabel marant x havaianas will debut on May 22, and Vogue Shopping readers will get 48-hour exclusive access to shop the drop first. The inaugural summer collaboration arrives as a tight, limited release rather than a broad seasonal rollout, which makes the early access window the main selling point for shoppers who want the collection before it opens more widely.
Four Styles, One Summer Drop
The collection includes four flip-flop styles, ranging from tie-dyed pairs to versions built with sturdier soles, soft leather wrapping and chunky rounded metallic studs. Two of the four styles use those reinforced soles, a sign that the partnership is aiming past basic beachwear and into something closer to a day-to-night shoe.
Havaianas first approached Isabel Marant with the idea for the collaboration, and Marant said she was already a longtime wearer of the brand. “To me, they represent the Brazilian quintessence of joy, freedom, and summer nonchalance.” That framing puts the project squarely in Havaianas’ wheelhouse while giving Marant a cleaner runway to push the label’s relaxed summer side.

Marant’s Day-To-Night Pitch
Marant said she wanted to create “a simple yet luxurious flip-flop designed to be worn from day to night and from beach to town.” She suggested styling the shoes with “a nice bathing suit and a pareo,” then carrying them into city wear with “a T-shirt and a great pair of fluid trousers or even jeans.” That gives the drop a clearer commercial lane: it is being sold as a wardrobe bridge, not just a vacation extra.
“I’ve always loved flip-flops. I think they will always remain fashionable because of their easygoing vibe that brings comfort and freedom.” That is the practical signal in the launch: the designer is betting that the category’s appeal is not a passing mood, and the 48-hour shopping window turns that idea into a timed purchase decision for readers who want first access to the limited release.
May 22 Access Window
For shoppers, the immediate move is simple: the collection goes public on May 22, but Vogue Shopping readers get the first 48 hours to buy before anyone else. In a market where limited drops can disappear quickly, that early window is the only built-in advantage here, and it belongs to readers who are already in the right place at the right time.
