Darlings, CC is so excited to introduce you to Hari Mari, a new brand that combines color and comfort to make flip flops as unique & versatile as the people who wear them. Made responsibly, we're dedicated to making a super comfortable, design-forward flip flop that can be worn on-the-go in the city, at rest on the beach or anywhere in-between.

A few things that distinguish Hari Mari flip flops from other brands:

• CANCER-FIGHTING: Hari Mari is donating $3 for every pair of flip flops purchased to help kids with pediatric cancer secure treatments & medicines vital to their fight. In the month of July, Hari Mari is doubling that commitment to $6.

• HUE-DRIVEN: Hari Mari’s simple, energetic designs navigate the color spectrum: oranges to blues, greens to browns, and then some. The introductory Parks line features crisp, white hemp foot beds under brightly-colored, soft cotton straps with unique looks for both women & men.

• CONSTANT COMFORT: Each pair is built with patented memory foam-lined toe pieces, supportive foam arches and soft-squeeze rubber mid-soles to keep feet in constant comfort.

• ECO-RESPONSIBLE: Made responsibly to reduce environmental impact and minimize its footprint, Hari Mari flip flops are built with sustainable hemp fibers, reprocessed foam & recycled rubber. We also have a Zero Landfill Initiative, encouraging patrons to recycle their old pairs with us, in turn, giving them 15% off their future purchase.

Currently, Hari Mari flip flops are sold in 30 outdoor & boutique retailers throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Louisiana, Tennessee & Nebraska, as well as HariMari.com, retailing in all spaces for $60.

These flip flops are super comfy, and perfect for either the beach or the city. CC highly recommends!

All items available at harimari.com.

Be sure to follow Hari Mari on Twitter and like Hari Mari on Facebook so you can keep up with all the flip flop fabulousness!
