Beach season lasts the whole year in the Philippines, and the peak begins in November and lasts until end of May or even mid-June. That said, if you’re one of the many who scored a highly coveted stay in one of the country’s many beautiful beach resorts, it’s time to start planning your holiday beach wardrobe, starting with your footwear.

Instead of going for those expensive Brazilian brands, why not support local and go for Banana Peel? You’ll love their brightly colored and comfortable styles of flip-flops and sandals. And, they’re affordable enough for you to own more than one pair so you can try all the available styles.

I recently picked out this pastel pink pair (Crewe), and I love how the color looks against my skin and how soft the soles are! I prefer this style because it goes better with my outfits than the basic tsinelas, hehe. Besides the beach, they’re definitely a must-have (in my bag) when I need to give my feet a break from heels on event-filled days. I’m sure you can relate to this, especially as your schedule starts to fill up with back-to-back Christmas parties, dinners, reunions, and inuman sessions.

Take your pick from their classic flip-flops, staple sandals collections (Cayenne and Sutton), themed collections (Jungle Fever, Sea La Vie, Printed Matters), and new collections (Pickles and Crewe).

Banana Peel has 26 branches and three franchise stores, and it’s also available in all major department stores nationwide. For more information about Banana Peel and its products, visit bananapeel.net.
