Havaianas OBRIGADA 2017: That Clean, Green, Summer Feeling

Last February 10, 2017, MT Martish Corporation invited the media and the Davao Bloggers Society for an exclusive gathering in celebration of OBRIGADA 2017. MT Martish is the Exclusive Sub Distributor of Havaianas in South East Mindanao. Obrigada or Thank You in Portugese, MT Martish Corporation’s annual gathering for the Davao press and personalities.

For Obrigada 2017, MT Martish goes organic and partners with Echostore, the country’s pioneering social enterprise and retail store carrying green fair trade products by local groups and communities all over the Philippines. Set at Echostore, this year’s annual get-together with different personalities and the press will be an intimate gathering, which aims to promote a healthy way of living while celebrating the Havaianas Summer Lifestyle.

At the event, guests will be served light, refreshing, & healthy cocktails, along with the Havaianas juice bar, where cold-pressed juices are available, including four organic juices that take inspiration from the Havaianas 2017 collection:

Allegra: Quench your thirst with this refreshing Watermelon juice inspired by the vibrant Havaianas Allegra in Pearl Pink! It’s sweet and packed with antioxidants and amino acids that is sure to lighten up your mood!

This year’s gathering will also feature a brief workshop by Yana Santiago of Olivia & Diego, a social business that works with communities to create upcycled jewelry made from fabrics from discarded cotton-knitted t-shirts. This workshop will show guests how to recycle old fabric pieces and turn them into stylish anklets that will go perfectly with their favorite Havaianas pair.
