WAVES is a fun, chic and colorful Sri Lankan made flip flop collection named after the beauty of Sri Lanka. Devoted to leave no scars on the very nature that inspires us, the substances and the activities used in the making of Waves are selected with utmost care. Therefore, Waves is crafted entirely from genuine Sri Lankan rubber grown in the fertile slopes that run parallel to the rolling hills of the island. This rubber is harvested, treated and crafted into comfortable flip-flops using material and processes that meet the highest compliances and leave no trace on the natural world around us. This has placed Waves among the rare few all-natural rubber flip-flops in the world. With the average flip-flops contributing to a massive component of the plastic waste that goes into landfill and our oceans, Waves takes a stand against contaminating nature's life fluid that nourishes us all. With our farmers, harvesters, makers, technicians and craftsmen, Waves embraces one of the most beautiful facets of Sri Lanka- her people. Our rubber is sourced from faraway plantations that employ people from local villages. This is what makes wearing Waves a much bigger experience than slipping on a pair of average flip-flops. Because, when you wear a pair of Waves, you become part of paradise. When you wear a pair of Waves you take a stand to protect nature’s pristine unfolding and safeguard it for tomorrow. When you wear a pair of Waves you touch the lives of many Sri Lankans from farmers, makers to harvesters and help them build their families.
