Havaianas has replaced Happy Socks, which began selling the Swedish brand’s range of hosiery in October last year before the festive season. The outlet will stock its iconic range of sandals, slides, slippers and flip flops.

Shoppers can explore the new store for the next nine months. They sell footwear ranging from size one (children) to size 13 (adults) in a variety of colourful and neutral combinations.

Products in the store are available for 30 per cent off the recommended retail price (RRP). Yvonne Clay, Centre Director at Gunwharf Quays, said: ‘It was fantastic to see our guests visiting the Happy Socks store during the festive period as it lends itself perfectly to gifts. Havaianas is the ideal change as we head into the warmer months.’
