Despite our dedication to combating this global problem, please be aware that counterfeit Havaianas products are being offered to customers - often through websites and especially auction sites.
Imitations are dangerous
Our products are made with a special rubber formula and undergo extensive quality controls to ensure a high level of comfort and safety. Counterfeits generally do not meet the standards of regulatory institutions, sometimes causing health problems, such as skin irritations.

Secure purchase.
At Havaianas we constantly adapt our payment gateways so that they have the most rigorous security systems for our customers. We have already adapted to the new European regulations for PSD2 online payments.
If you buy online regularly, you will have verified that there are different ways to pay. In some online stores they only ask for your card data with the CVV, others your data and a code that they send to your mobile, and others directly remember all your data so that you can make your purchases in a single click.
In this diverse scenario, the objective of the new PSD2 directive, which came into force on 01/01/2021, is none other than to reinforce the security mechanisms in electronic stores to guarantee that whoever makes a purchase is the legitimate owner of the card.
And how will we do it? Using strong customer authentication or two-factor authentication when paying online, for which your smartphone will be essential.
This mainly translates into confirming payments with at least 2 of these 3 possible ways:
1. Something you have: your mobile, your ID, a card, etc.
2. Something you know: a PIN, a password, an answer, etc.
3. Something that “you are”: biometric identification using your eyes, your face, your fingerprint, your voice, etc.
