Bacolod Launching of Ipanema Gisele Bundchen Seeds Collection

Tsinelas, slippers, flip flops … no matter what you call them, I’m sure you own at least a pair. These flip flops are very essential to living in a tropical country such as the Philippines. Especially now that the summer is just around the corner, the beach beckons your flip flop clad feet. What better way to prepare for the summer than with your pair of Ipanema?

Last night’s launching of the Ipanema Gisele Bundchen Seeds Collection at Robinson’s Place Bacolod was full of fun. There were games for the audience and cocktails afterward .  The flip flop designs are so trendy and owning a pair is a must. Ipanema’s designs are so funky and versatile that you can wear them to the beach, to a walk in the park, or to a casual night out. What makes Ipanema special is not just the trendy designs but the fact that its unique buttersoft PVC is manufactured in such a way that 99% of the residues and surplus materials are recycled.

Every year, supermodel icon Gisele Bundchen comes up with a new collection. Each pair of Ipanema is produced in an environmentally sound manner. Consistent with the company’s commitment to environment protection, this year’s Ipanema GB Seed Collection will raise funds for reforestation projects. Ipanema has partnered with Haribon Foundation on its Rainforest Organizations and Advocates (ROAD) to 2020 campaign. It aims to restore a million hectares of rainforests in the Philippines by year 2020. For every pair of Ipanema flip flop you buy, a portion goes to Haribon Foundation. So everytime you wear your Ipanema, it’s like “Your feet will bear fruit,” as the tag line goes.

Where to buy Ipanema?

In Bacolod City, Ipanema is available at Learning Gallery, Urban Chic, and all outlets of Basix Boutique.

The event was made possible by Islandscape Distributors, the company responsible for bringing Ipanema to Bacolod City.
