Gisele Bündchen is the girl from Ipanema
MANILA, Philippines - Premier Brazil-based flip-flop brand Ipanema takes on a new look and launches the GB Seeds Collection by famed Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen.
Exclusively distributed in the country by ELRO Commercial and Industrial Corporation, Ipanema’s GB Seeds Collection is the third collection exclusively designed by Bündchen, named by Forbes magazine as “The World’s Top-Earning Model.”
Made from safe, recycled materials and supplies such as industrial residues, painting residues and surplus PVC, the GB Seeds Collection is the height of eco-chic as it teams up with the Haribon Foundation to create an awareness campaign on the preservation of the Filipino rainforests. As ELRO managing director Francisco Elizalde says, “Ipanema marks another year of stylish effort to conserve the country’s natural resources by launching the GB Seeds Collection and by partnering with Haribon Foundation to help raise awareness in this joint green movement.”
Purchasing a pair of GB Seeds flip-flops allows you to not only participate in the Walk the Green Mile Walkathon slated for March, part of the proceeds also contribute to planting and growing native trees on one million hectares of our local rainforests by year 2020.
Unique details adorn the latest GB Seeds Collection by Ipanema, such as the forest-inspired print on its soles and the metal spiral button gracing the front sandal strap that symbolizes “the seed of life.” Choose from an array of five diverse styles in eye-popping and vibrant hues.
The “New Thong Fem” made with double straps is perfect for casual strolls in the park or the beach. The classic, thong-styled “Thong Fem” is funky yet flattering. Glamorize any outfit with eye-catching straps from “Sand Fem.” Up the ante and stylize your look with the “Thong Strap Ad,” which combines the classic thong strap with a horizontal strap, adding sophistication to one’s casual look. Need a little height lift? “Plataforma Fem” is a wedged sandal that lets you look lean and tall.
