The Row's £920 Flip-Flops Lead S/S 2026 Trend
The Row has launched a luxurious £920 flip-flop sandal, featuring a padded leather footbed, a grosgrain strap, and a leather toe divider, giving a high-end twist to a classic 1990s beach essential. Established by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen in 2006, the brand has a history of transforming everyday footwear, including jelly sandals and spa slippers. This new design debuted in the spring 2025 collection and is anticipated to be a key trend in 2026. The flip-flop craze was evident on the S/S 2026 runways: Balenciaga's Pierpaolo Piccioli showcased embellished thong flip-flops, while Prada men's line featured vibrant leather versions of Havaianas, and Auralee displayed colorful soles designed by Ryota Iwai.
