FAB FIND: Charcoal Sandals from Argentina

Flip-flops and sandals have become ordinary, everyday staples for people living in countries with tropical climates since they're comfy and perfect for the sweltering weather.  Havaianas, Banana Peel and Ipanema are just a few well-known brands offering these types of comfy footwear.  But for me, there's also one more brand that I definitely love wearing!

I present -- Charcoal sandals from Argentina!

I was first introduced to this brand by my mom, who absolutely abhors the other well-known flip-flop and sandal brands.  Wanting to find another alternative that would offer that the same comfy feeling yet without the too hefty and often "ridiculous" price tag (her words exactly...), she spotted this line of Charcoal sandals during a sale at Rustan's department store.

And hooked she was.  She's been enjoying her pair for almost 2 years now, and although there are the usual signs of wear, it still feels as comfy as the day she first bought it.

I, too got hooked and would try to borrow her pair from time to time.  Finally exhasperated, I decided to purchase one for my very own! 


Comfy in a pair of suela de gomas...hmmmm...

There are a few limitations to this line.  Although they offer a variety of designs, they are, however, a little limited when it comes to the colors available.  Most come in basic, neutral hues (i.e. brown, white, black) so don't expect a mirage of rainbow colored products.  I don't mind though, as black is quite easy to pair with a number of ensembles.

Charcoal sandals sells for around Php500 and above, depending on the styles and are available at select Rustan's, SM and Landmark stores.

P.S. They almost always place their older styles on sale, usually at 50% off, so be sure to check their area from time to time.  =)

Lovin' the simple knot design.  =)
