Hari Mari to Donate Shoes for National Flip Flop Day
Hari Mari, the premium sandal brand known for infusing color and comfort into its distinctive footwear, is announcing on National Flip Flop Day, May 29th, that for every adult pair of flip flops purchased tomorrow on harimari.com, the brand will donate a new pair of Kids flip flops to Soles4Souls, a global non-profit that provides shoes to people in need.
‘Philanthropy is a part of Hari Mari’s DNA so we’re excited to add this fun and new initiative to the brand’s agenda,’ said Hari Mari’s Co-Founder Lila Stewart. ‘We’ve never done something special like this before for National Flip Flop Day, so my hope is that it’s a success and it’s something that we do every year.’
The flip flops will be going specifically to Soles4Souls’ 4Relief program, which provides new shoes and clothing to people experiencing hardship, either chronically or because of a crisis.
‘Our collective goal as a team is to donate at least a thousand pairs of kids flips flops! That would be amazing.’ said Lila Stewart
ABOUT HARI MARI FLIP FLOPS
Hari Mari is a premium sandal & slipper brand based in Dallas, Texas, with distribution in over 800 retail doors throughout the U.S., Mexico, Canada, and the Bahamas. The company also sells its products through HariMari.com, where it offers its full footwear and accessory assortment, including footwear, sweatshirts, shorts & joggers ranging from $60 to $160.
Jeremy & Lila Stewart founded Hari Mari in 2012 with the goal of creating a flip flop brand steeped in comfort, introducing the brand’s patented MemoryFoamToe™ at the time of launch to mitigate and do away with the painful break-in periods and toe irritation associated with most sandals. Combining its comfort-first approach with classic looks and color profiles, Hari Mari quickly gained traction for crafting timeless flip flops with modern comfort components.
The idea for Hari Mari came while the Stewarts were living abroad in Indonesia. As such, ‘Hari’ means ‘Sun’ in Indonesian, and ‘Mari’ means ‘Sea’ in Latin – a nod to the roots of the idea. Hari Mari also gives a portion of its sales to help children and families battling pediatric cancer. The program is called Flops Fighting Cancer.
