Hari Mari, the premium sandal brand known for infusing color & comfort into its distinctive flip flop lines, announced its new relationship with Zappos and starting today, Zappos.com will offer the entire Hari Mari collection to its’ customers.
“The Zappos family is really excited to welcome Hari Mari to the family. It isn’t often that we see something new and compelling in the flip flop world, so we are even more excited for the Zappos consumers to get to know the amazing comfort and style of Hari Mari this upcoming Spring and Summer,” said head Zappos footwear buyer Josh Schleweky.
Hari Mari’s new partnership with Zappos underscores the brand’s quick growth within the national footwear arena and premium retail, a trend Hari Mari attributes to the simple look and enduring functionality of its sandals, and the brand’s ability to resonate with customers looking for the same.
“As long-time fans of Zappos and Tony Hsieh, and their unwavering commitment to carrying great product and going above and beyond for their customers, we couldn’t be more thrilled for Hari Mari to now be carried as one of those great products on Zappos.com,” said Hari Mari founder Jeremy Stewart. “It’s a dream partnership for our growing flip flop brand.”
ABOUT HARI MARI FLIP FLOPS
Hari Mari was founded in 2012 by Jeremy & Lila Stewart. The beginnings of the brand were born out of the Stewart’s time spent in Indonesia, where each worked on projects related to improving kids’ lives: Jeremy, making a documentary film on helping kids suffering from hunger & malnutrition in Southeast Asia; Lila, volunteering for orphanages in and outside of Jakarta.
Moving back to the States and wanting to continue to help children in some capacity, the married couple recognized an unmet need for comfortable & colorful flip flops at a premium level. The idea for creating a quality-driven flip flop brand that would support kids was born.
Seeing a lot of companies helping children abroad, Hari Mari decided to focus its efforts in the U.S., and was stunned to discover pediatric cancer is the most fatal disease among American children, more fatal than all other childhood diseases combined. It clicked from there. Hari Mari’s commitment now sees 1% of sales going to support kids battling cancer. It’s called Flops Fighting Cancer.
Hari Mari flip flops are available on HariMari.com, as well as many quality retailers, and range in price from $75 for its full-grain leather ‘Lakes’ line, $45 for its rubber ‘Dune’s line, to $35 for its new “Kids Scouts” line. A full list of retailers can be found on HariMari.com.
