The following history is taken from the Havaianas US website. In Spring 2007, The James Store began carrying Havaianas. For more information, feel free to contact us, or call the store at 740-587-3061.
The Zori (a Japanese style sandal) was the inspiration for the creation of the Havaianas sandal in 1962. The name Havaianas (pronounced ah-vai-YAH-nas), Portuguese for Hawaiians, was a tribute to America’s glamorous holiday destination. The addictive nature of these flip flops is largely due to a 42-year old secret rubber formula, which makes them butter-soft, bouncy, flexible and durable.
The idea for the new sandal was so simple that its success spread like wild-fire. In less than a year, São Paulo Alpargatas was making five pairs of Havaianas every second; which adds up to 125 million pairs per year. Since their launch, 2.2 billion pairs of Havaianas sandals have been produced and sold throughout the world. If the sandals were laid end to end, they would go around the world 50 times.
In Brazil, Havaianas are beloved and worn by all personalities from the average citizen to dignataries and celebrities. Since being introduced to the United States three years ago, Havaianas have created an unprecedented cult following. Now referred to as the “best rubber sandal in the world,” Havaianas can be seen gracing the pages of the hottest fashion and sport magazines, strutting down the runways at New York Fashion Week and featured at red carpet events. Stylish Americans, including top athletes, rock stars and celebrities demanded the butter-soft comfort of these inexpensive flip flops, making Havaianas available at the most chic retailers and surf boutiques nationwide.

…that every cool mom should know about.
This past summer (2006), About.com editor Michell Kouzmine wrote an article with naming the top ten girls designers for cool moms and placed Greggy Girl in 1st place.
In her words: “Greggy Girl is taking the world of girls’ fashion by storm. Their unique take on girls’ fashion and their wonderful designs that mix color, texture and tons of style into every Greggy Girl outfit has made them wildly popular. In fact, if you want to get your hands on some of Greggy Girl’s most in demand outfits, you should get your name on their preorder lists.”
You can visit the Greggy Girl homepage at TheJamesStore.com to learn more about this line and its availability at the James Store.
Greggy Girl was founded in 1999 by head designer, Charlene May, who has 20 years experience in clothing, jewelry, handbag, and interior design. Charlene has her finger on the pulse of young “fashionistas” across the world, tapping in on looks that define a child’s personality. However, her fashion inspiration often comes from being the mother of a free-spirited five year old and a fashion forward “tween”– that will always be caught “dressed for the occasion.”
Greggy Girl is a lifestyle brand that strives to be unique, fun and fabulous–basing most design ideas on the belief that “life is fun.” Greggy Girl is also known as the designer to some of the most popular child and young adult stars in Hollywood and also provides wardrobe assistance to many television shows as well.
Greggy Girl does not sell direct to the public and can be found at specialty stores and high end department stores nationwide and internationally.
