Overview

Tagline

ALWAYS NEW. ALWAYS IPANEMA.
IPANEMA is a footwear brand launched in 2001 by Brazilian footwear manufacturer Grendene. It offers footwear for women, men, and children, focusing on beach sandals, sandals, slides, and flip-flops. Drawing on the Ipanema district of Rio de Janeiro and beach culture, it centers on fashion and functionality for use both in the city and by the sea, under the slogan “ALWAYS NEW. ALWAYS IPANEMA.” Collaborations such as Ipanema GB with Gisele Bündchen and a collaboration with Philippe Starck have helped it gain international recognition. It is available in more than 100 countries.

The beach is not a place, but a state of mind.

Ipanema Gisele Bündchen was a distinctive signature line launched by Ipanema in 2002 through a partnership with Gisele Bündchen. Based on Ipanema flip-flops, it was a women's product line that foregrounded Gisele's name and advertising campaigns, and served a fashion-oriented and international role distinct from the regular Ipanema line. In 2007, Grendene formally announced it as an independent brand for overseas markets, and in 2008 the line also launched the G2B collection. Separate from the current Ipanema brand, it is positioned as a representative derivative line that formed part of the brand family in the past.
