Dupé flip-flops vs. Havaianas

[ofngol]

What do you think about this Brazillian flip-flops?
I'm planning to buy one with a Brazil flag on the strap.

I've been seeing more and more of this brand here.
They already have it in Celio, Shoe Salon, Sports Central, etc.
All I know is that its price is almost only half of Havaianas.

[LadyMarmalade]

Dupe's going to give Havaianas a run for their money.
The quality's more consistent IMO. More comfy to wear at half the price, I'm definitely all for Dupe than Havaianas now.

[basketbabe]

dupe din for me! super comfy talaga :D

[crab_sushi]

Dupe! Less expensive than havaianas & more comfy! http://www.dupe.com.br *okay*

[dihjeixx]

uy.. bago to ha!:) let me try this nga.. haha sayang nakatatlong havaianas nako.. sana ito nalang kinolekta ko!:

[prinsesa_ako]

where is it available? havent seen this one yet.

[babygurl_archer]

wow, kamukha nga ng havaianas. if i see one and find it comfy enough for me, i'll try that. kaso lang, meron kaya niyan dito.. and san.. :hmm:

[-timtam005-]

I think meron sa Shoe Salon.
Ang dami kong nakikitang Dupe sa malls, di ko lang pinapansin masyado so I dunno exactly what stores sell them.

[Bea19]

Available din ang Dupe sa Toby's saka mga athelitic shops tska sa freeway yta yun...

[-timtam005-]

^ Ya! in Planet Sports din. I saw it kanina.
Plain ones are 295 pesos yata, then those with designs, 395.

[dee C]

walang bang english site toh? i saw the site, mas maganda pa rin havaianas for me.. at tsaka the website of havas is super bongga compared sa dupe

[dee C]

pwede pala itranslate :D

[dee C]

yung kristal lang gusto ko...wala ba silang designs like fashion or high of havas? sana meron na nagbebenta nito sa davao

[spanish^guitar]

wow! ill buy one pair... definitely

[Faustina]

Wow! Interesting designs.. *okay*

Dami bang designs available sa Toby's and Freeway? I'm definitely getting one.

[speeka]

try nyo ren yung MIXSTAR.. parang havaianas din yung ichura and feel nya. although di pa ko nakakabili ng mixstar, nag try lang akong suotin. hehe. sa 168 mall ako nakakita.. =)

[speeka]

try nyo ren yung MIXSTAR.. parang havaianas din yung ichura and feel nya. although di pa ko nakakabili ng mixstar, nag try lang akong suotin. hehe. sa 168 mall ako nakakita..150-200 yung mga nakita kong plain color lang, dunno pag may designs na. =)

[crab_sushi]

available ang Dupe sa Shoe Salon, Toby's, Planetsports, Landmark Department Store

i have to agree with this one. dupe is a lot softer and it's more comfortable than havaianas (for me :p ), the only thing that bothers me is that it has its own rip-off-ed version of brasils :D

[icegayle]

I saw DUPE at LANDMARK..

[ofngol]

i have to agree with this one. dupe is a lot softer and it's more comfortable than havaianas (for me :p ), the only thing that bothers me is that it has its own rip-off-ed version of brasils :D

So the one that I'm planning to buy (the one with the Brazil flag on the
strap) is a rip-off from Havaianas?

Anyway, I like how they have more designs for men in Dupé than in Havaianas, kasi I'm a guy if you guys don't know yet. Napansin ko kasi na parang puro girl yung mga nagreply sa thread eh.

BTW, I saw this 'tsinelas' in SM Dept. Store with the Brazil flag in the strap, mukha talaga siyang flip-flops rip-off and it costs only P79.75. May Brazil flag pero pag tiningnan mo yung tag Made in China siya. hahaha.

Mas soft pa rin ang Dupe sa Mixstar. Actually muntik na kong bumili ng mixstar because it's cheap pero when I tried on a pair of Dupe flip flops, sold na agad ako. No questions asked, bili na agad :D

musta naman yung gawa ng SM? malambot din?

[ofngol]

Nope, at hindi maganda yung rubber. Black siya pero namumuti yung surface saka di gaanong pulido yung pagka-cut ng strap. Dupé pa rin ako pero unfortuantely nagastos ko yung P500 ko kanina sa isang shirt sa Vurve so mag-iipon muna uli ako para mabili ko na yung gusto kong Dupé na Brasil.

[icegayle]

how do u pronounce dupe?

[icegayle]

I saw dupe at landmark, when i check the rubber meron iba ndi ganon ka soft though may ilan na soft and comfy nga..

[icegayle]

sorry for multiple posting...

[ofngol]

Ang alam ko, yung ibang Dupé eh naka "Gel Technology" kaya super comfy sila, yun yung mga mas malambot kaysa regular Dupé at Havaianas.

[o0o_LuLu_o0o]

dupe's nice.. havaianas too pricey kasi :D

[Brightgirlb1]

Have you guys tried it na,does it really feels like you're wearing havaianas?
excited tuloy ako pumunta ng mall.How much nga po ulit ito?

Thanks :)

[icegayle]

^^ dpends sa style and desyns, its half the price of havs...

[ofngol]

how do u pronounce dupe?

DOO-pey daw sabi nung taga Celio sa Podium. I hope tama yung sabi niya.

[o0o_LuLu_o0o]

DOO-pey daw sabi nung taga Celio sa Podium. I hope tama yung sabi niya.

yeah i think it's tama.. kasi ganyan din sabi sa akin sa shoe salon :) :D

[basketbabe]

ganda yung Garden na design :D ang bilis naubos

[starshine]

hello were i cud find dupe? im a new member! thanx guys! have a nice day!god bless

[Ellheym]

may nakita ako sa toby's at okey naman ang style.. pero dumaan na kasi ako sa freeway akala ko iyon na yon, pero super comfy din iyong nabili ko sa freeway.. pero try ko pa rin bili ulit ng Dupe next time..

masyado kasing mahal ang havaianas eh.. pero pag ipunan ko pa rin.. ang sarap kasi mag ikot sa mall ng nakaflipflops lang, super comfy at hindi masakit sa paa kahit pa super lakad na ako.. :D

[Ellheym]

hello were i cud find dupe? im a new member! thanx guys! have a nice day!god bless

meron po sa toby's pero alam mo konti lang iyong mapagpilian eh.. hindi lahat para ng nasa website nila ay meron silang display.

[geekhead]

Guys, saan ba mall/ shops maraming stocks ng dupe? Yung panlalake po. Sa Glorietta ba marami?

[fnh]

sa celio meron. and other stores. dupe is all over town center.

[posh^chick]

eastwood's shoe salon branch also has a lot of stock. :)

[golfer_guy]

ang sarap mag mall pag naka flip flops :)

[Faustina]

I was so keen on getting a pair of Dupe after seeing the designs on the website posted here, but when I actually saw a pair of it sa Shoe Salon in Glorieta, I didn't like the material very much. :shrug:

Still Havaianas for me. *okay*

[Ellheym]

just bought new havs yesterday.. super comfy.. :)

[cuteykikay]

still havaianas for me. tingin ko kc sa dupes imitation of havs. :lol:

[Faustina]

^^ Oo nga. :lol:

Just got myself two new pairs of Havaianas!! :D :D :D

[cRzYcHiQa]

ack! i want one flipflops din. :(

[purpleheadd07]

finally got ,y dream purple havs. :D actually combination sya ng lavender at purple kakaaaliw. dami tao sa all flipflops yesterday *** d ko na pinakawalan yun style ko. ;)

d ko gaanong trip un itsura ng dupe parang mga old stocks nkikita ko eh. :p

[soul`rebel]

Got 3 havies today. Yay! :)

Anyway, di ko type yung Dupe at Mixstar. Madulas sa paa.

[car728]

saw some dupe flip flops in shoe salon. found them a bit hard as compared to the havs i was wearing.

[cRzYcHiQa]

i was in gateway yesterday and was so tempted to buy my first havs. pero i stopped myself muna kasi madami pa akong mas importanteng bibilihin. wahehehe. shucks...sana next week...sana.

[kristofer]

sa tobys b sa sm north merong dupe?salamat

[gruvemeister]

meron ***** dun sa sm north, pero if u really want to buy it no sweat. bisita nalang kayo sa celio or shoe salon for sure meron. :) haha, but bakit kaya ngayon lang talaga nauuso ang flip flops sa atin.. for what i remember, year 2001 sa taipei, they're already wearing wearing flip flops and leather sandals for their fashion (mga times na elephant jeans at amboy look pa ang uso dito) hehe.

[twinxi]

i have 2 pairs of havaianas na.. (and i can't wait to buy more.. nakaka-adik eh!)

as for dupes.. i only found out about them lately eh.. saw them sa shoe salon.. never tried them out yet.. pero i do plan on buying one. okei na un.. half the price of havaianas lang (kahit mas trip ko pa rin *** havs) :)

[cRzYcHiQa]

i was in gateway kanina. was suppose to get my first pair of havs (where have i been? HAHA!) anyhoo, i ended up buying a pair of dupe. wala kasi akong magustuhan na colors sa havaianas. meron dun yung forest green...pero i thought why get havs if i can get a pair of the same color in dupe? chaka may magregalo naman na saken ng havs so intay ko na lang yun. haha.

masarap sa paa ang dupe! well compared dun sa mga unang flipflops na discover ko. hehe. i think i'm going to get another pair soon.

[vclim]

dupe, because its more comfy and cheaper than havaianas

[EverAfter]

Havaianas. Iba talaga siya. Buttery soft talaga. Yung Dupe na na try ko sa GiftGate, matigas.

:spinstar:

[LadyMarmalade]

Get the rounded tip dupes. They're a few bucks more expensive than the cheapest ones but they're a lot more comfy...I have havs but I've so ignored them already after I discovered dupe.

[baileylab]

what's dupe's website add?

thanks

[fnh]

www.dupe.com.br

are all the havs in this website http://www.havaianas.cz/katalog2006.phtml available locally?

[random_ria]

guys, saan yung shoe salon?

[detoxikate]

o? gusto ko nang bumili ng dupe! dati gusto ko ng havaianas, kaso namamahalan talaga ako. eh may mas mura na pala, tapos mas comfy pa! buti nalang. hehehe! magkano ba yun?

[detoxikate]

how do u pronounce dupe?i saw it at one site who sells dupe flip-flops... "du-pay" daw.

[samantha_jones]

I have havs and they're okay...I kinda got it more for the design of the sole...my old navy flip flops are more comfy...

Have you heard of Gallas? I saw it somewhere and mas okay sha kasi sa havs mas comy yung soles niya...

[makeit_good]

I never thought I would succumb to this sensation, but here I was, I bought my second pair of Havaianas this afternoon (from Rustan's Makati) out of impulse, triggered by a growing desire to start collecting. I got the limited edition 2006 Cartunistas "Music Carnival" in yellow featuring these cute cartoon characters playing a bongo and doing capoeira. So very Brazil!

[geekhead]

Saan po may Old Navy flip flops dito and how much para sa isang pair?

[flygurl74]

i just bought dupe flipflops din one time, robinsons dept store sells them also. ok din pala siya, comfy slippers din for half the havaianas price. i got mine in white with gold trimmings, ang ganda din naman :)

[dragueur]

i havnt tried Dupe, but i saw it at Landmark. anyway, i never imagined myself buying a pair of slipper for almost a thousand pesos. ..and yet, i bought 1 havs. :D comfy nga sarap isuot lagi at maglakad lakad kahit gano katagal.

[proof12]

Havs The Best.. Dupe.. Don't Know!..

[allanpaolov_24]

haha mas ok havs.. kakabili ko nga lang.. *** brazil copa..*** may free anklet.. ganda ng design and super comfy pa *okay*.. worth it naman :D

[poundcake]

Napatiran ako ng strap ng havs ko dati...nakakahiya. Kaya ayoko na ng havs. I bought Globe...hehehe. Available sa Shoe Salon...grabe sa lambot. Havaianas maganda nga itsura...inconsistent naman quality in terms of comfort

[march31]

the white one is not good, well even yung havaianas ko nanginigitim din e, but the black dupe is cool, its cheaper but seems ok wth the quality

[Bea19]

naka bile na ako ng duper yung may beads na brazil something na white.P595 para lang ma try ko...masakit sya sa feet at medyo makapal at matigas ang material nya...mas ok pa din ang havs plus may resale value pa...

[_kikay_]

:rotflmao: anyone knows where i can buy cheap havaianas???

[ofngol]

^^ Havaianas na cheap? Meron ba nun? :lol: Sa Isetann Recto meron dun, PhP99 lang, di nga maipaliwanag sakin nung saleslady kung bakit ganun kamura yun eh, syempre di naman niya pwedeng sabihin sa customer na "fake po kasi sila kaya mura". :D

[blue_tooth]

hindi havaianas yun...HAVANAS...hehe...never thought na may flip flop na product sa cafe havana..wahaha..:lol::rotflmao:

[c_r_i_z_z_i_e]

astig *** flip flops nilang may gel.. sarap sa paa.. (www.dupe.com.br) click nyo *** midia....

[waterwell]

finally may havaianas na ako. gift sa akin ng friends ko. ako na lang kasi ang walang ganito, hahahaha. poor me.

[Cookie_Mobster]

love the ones with gel technology... way softer than havs.. :p
yun nga lang limited lang designs na nakikita ko.. and gusto ko yung may heels! haha..

[campbelldeyn]

Wanna buy DUPE!!!

[green_apples]

Haven't seen dupe yet. I like my havaianas, bought it in bonifacio high street. It's so comfy :rotflmao:

[5th of eight]

DUPE and IPANEMA! soft and comfy... dupe's available at Solo Stores

[eveRything]

dupe are definitely more comfy than havaianas but, they also butt ugly too. pambahay lang :lol:

[sleepyhead]

^ depende sa nagdadala yon. meron nga iba, ang ganda ng havaianas, pero ang paa - parang pang.. spartan ba yon? basta. kahit sa islander hindi bagay :rotflmao:

anyway. i love dupe! super soft nun gel tech nila.

[eveRything]

^^ walang ganun, kung panget ang tsinelas, panget ang tsinelas, wala sa paa paa :) kung panget paa mo, maganda tsinelas, maganda parin tsinelas mo! and vice versa :D

[AccessDenied]

Dupe din ako forever!!!!! Woooo! Haha. Gusto ko din yung soft gel tech nila.

Kaya lang dalawang Dupe ko na yung naputulan ng strap. Though they lasted around four months naman so okay na din.

[waterwell]

wala akong dupe, pero medyo marami na rin akong havaianas, and mostly gifts sa akin. a bit overpriced pero cute naman, so pwede na rin. i mean, if you can afford it, why not.

[-freelancer-]

maganda design ng havaianas pero kung comfort ang paguusapan panalo ang dupe. mas malambot talaga kahit yung mga flip fliops nila na hindi gel technology. and hindi ganun ka over priced (toot) and presyo nya compared sa havs. :bop:

[lakers rule]

none.
rainbows ftw.

[pink_shimmer]

havs. i just love it.

[nice0808]

i like the two brands but i prefer dupe bcoz its very cheap kaso lang walang store dito sa city namin na nagbibinta ng dupe, everytime i go to cebu or manila, i buy dupe.havaianas lang ang may store dito

[poise]

sino may alam na nagbebenta ng havs pero maramihan na order din?>

[aicheekz]

Ipanema FTW hahah! More comfy. I just don't wear flipflops out anymore...it just looks odd when paired with jeans.

Havs are overrated. But I do own one...from years back.

And Dupe, nice colors, but I don't own one.

[business_guy]

Dupe - I don't like; Havaianas - Their flip-flops looks too odd. The only flip-flops I like in Havaianas was the Havaianas Wave - comfortable, Out of topic (sorry), but Crocs stands out - puwedeng panlabas, but Havaianas, pang bahay talaga - Their Wave model 'so-so' lang, puwedeng panlabas, but for no occasions. Nothing wrong wearing flip-flops with jeans. Ang pangit - naka flip flops pero naka medyas, or naka flip-flops pero mukhang luya ang paa (lol), mabaho, or di nag papapedicure pero lakas loob mag tsinelas....

[-freelancer-]

dupe - comfort all the way (relatively cheaper price also comes as a bonus)

[heggnu]

dupe. comfortable and soft than havaianas

[alex_band]

mas komportable ang OUTLAND! Leather na, soft pa.


hahahahahhahahaha

buy pinoy!

[vainlass]

I have a lot of havaianas slippers, ngayon, konti na lang. Naputol na yung strap nila. Ewan bakit ganun. Natanggal yung strap na iniipit ng toe fingers. so now, i go for IPANEMA! Haven't tried Dupe though.

[orenciojames]

even if it's more pricey, i still prefer havaianas.

the reason why most people buy havaianas is because it's more popular; it's more exposed. it's for the sosyal class, or whatever you call it, according to some people. Even a lot of hollywood celebrities wear it.

[biz_girl]

i own dupe flip flops. definitely softer than havs. i dont actually like the design of havs strap. they look cheap. dupe is more classy. i think havs are ridiculously overpriced just because of immediate brand recall. im converting people i know to buy dupe instead. i let them try my flipflops to have a feel of its softness. cheaper pa ****. ive been trying to search for local importers of dupe pero nothing comes up sa search results. i wanna sell them kasi most people are asking e where did i bought it so its a good business to start. can u guys help me out.

[taneisha]

havent tried dupe but i love ipanema so far mas comfy....

[Ice Burn]

To this day I still cannot justify paying so much money for a pair of tsinelas. I'll stick to the local P45 Havana. :lol: It's super comfy pa. *okay*

Seriously I think Havaianas are a total rip off. My Brazillian friends say they're so cheap and sold in the markets of Brazil, just like most of our locally made tsinelas are sold in the markets here.

[pettie02]

guys, sa tingin niyo mga magkano na lang ang havaianas brazil? the blue one or the green one. nawala kasi havs ko. haay. :(

which is better ipanema or havs? ;)

[biz_girl]

e ay naku alm nyo **** mga pinoy masyado taung brand conscious ever. local nga *** sa mga brazilians pero sa atin e super going gaga over a pair of highly priced tsinelas hihihihi. bat ba tau ganito

[epalog]

had the same problems with my several pairs of havaianas kaya i also switched to ipanema. so far i'm liking ipanema. i haven't tried out dupe, though.

[QUOTE=biz_girl;30479192]e ay naku alm nyo **** mga pinoy masyado taung brand conscious ever. local nga *** sa mga brazilians pero sa atin e super going gaga over a pair of highly priced tsinelas

it's a part of filipino life.

[shooters]

dupes are being sold at SM department stores.. i've seen a lot of it being displayed. it looks and feels ood for the price.

[mareeshka]

i have 5 pairs of dupe and only 1 pair of havs and a couple of ipanema's...true: dupe's a lot more comfy especially their "gel" models...i've been on flipflops since 2004 because of my outdoor activities and not mainly because "fashyown" says so...nakailang bili na ako ng dupe at kahit rest in peace na yung iba, i could say sulit talaga...nahaharrass ko yun til the day they died...hahaha...

[JB1210]

guys, sa tingin niyo mga magkano na lang ang havaianas brazil? the blue one or the green one. nawala kasi havs ko. haay. :(

My brother's friend went to Brazil mga 2 years ago. Nagbigay kami 2k pesos, pabili Havaianas (sa price ng Havs dito, 2 pairs lang *** 2thou pesos)

He came back and gave us our 2k worth havaianas.

39 PAIRS of havainasa tsinelas!

We're being ripped off dito sa pInas!

binenta nalang namin saka pinang-regalo. aanhin namin ang 39 na tsinelas

[Jhuly_72]

true, most people here in the U.S wears havaianas even they only wearing jeans maganda namang tingnan. hollywood stars they love this flip flop.

Ipanema here in Bahrain is much cheaper than in Pinas.

[LabuyoXVIII]

e ay naku alm nyo **** mga pinoy masyado taung brand conscious ever. local nga *** sa mga brazilians pero sa atin e super going gaga over a pair of highly priced tsinelas hihihihi. bat ba tau ganito

Siyempre local ito sa mga Brazilians dahil sa kanila galing ang Havaianas, Dupe, at Ipanema. :rotflmao:

Eversince I started wearing Havs in 2005, I never went back - wala na akong ibang sinuot na flip-flops. They last me 3.5 years. Sometimes, that's the only footwear I bring when I go out of town. A few pais have been out of the country. I find them very comfy. No plans of changing brands, though - well, yung crocs na tsinelas, kaya lang mahal eh.

[sikya05]

I'll go with Ipanema. Medyo mahal pero napakalambot, comfy at durable. Dupe, okay lang din. Nauna lang Havs sa Pinas, kaya "overrated."

Ladies, try nyo Gisele Bündchen Flip Flops. Hindi kayo magsisisi. From style to comfort, panalo.

[hurkey]

HAVAIANAS for me.. i had my 1st pair even before most people found out about it. it was a black pair with brazil flag, they're still with me! it's crazy the way people go gaga over it now. hehe.

By the way, in Brazil, it's only USD 5 a pair! SERIOUSLY.

[fourdee04]

meron ba nito sa MOA? if kung meron man san dun ? thnx
