It gave life to a new fashion era, and contributed to once basic rubber flip- flops becoming an iconic fashion statement and a symbol of island life. The comfort, quality and innovativeness of the product resulted in it becoming popular among the younger generation.

Modern technology is used to turn out a wide range of men’s and women’s flip-flops. As a brand ‘Waves’ has plans in the pipeline to take the distinct Sri Lankan identity on to a global scale. The first step out in to the international market was to introduce the products to the Maldives. Flip-flops are considered a fashion statement in the string of islands that are the Maldives, and understanding this demand, ‘Waves’ is now available at main resorts in Male. Plans are also underway to take ‘Waves’ to other global fashion destinations such as Dubai and Europe.
