We couldn’t say it any better …

Up for a design challenge?

Flip flops and t-shirts go together like tiny umbrellas and piña coladas. The combination conjures up sweet thoughts of bright sunny days on the beach spent with your toes in the sand with your laptop hidden far, far, away. Now’s your chance to convey that laid-back awesomeness to the world with the ultimate combo-canvas: the best rubber flip-flops in the world plus an awesome Threadless tee!

Your challenge is to create a design for both flip flops and a tee.

This is the first worldwide open call for Havaianas flip flop designs, ever! It’s also the first Loves challenge that jumps beyond the t-shirt canvas! And you, friend, could be the first Threadless designer to create flip flops! #1s all around!

If your designs are chosen, you’ll get a bunch of cashola and fame: your stuff will be worn by a bajillion people (approximately). So check out the flip flop submission guide we’ve created, and if you haven’t already, check out the tee submission guide too. That way, your design will get its ultimate moment in the sun. Good luck, dudes and dudettes!

The only thing we will say is … this looks like a fun one.
