In a world where $690 rubber thongs top trend lists, why do people keep buying big luxury brands when they continue unethical practices?
It’s no wonder people are questioning what real value looks like.
I recently came across this article on substack, written by Clare Press - Just because it's expensive doesn't make it ehtical.
Luxury brands are trolling us!!
Don’t be fooled by a “Made in Italy” label, a fancy colour name, a designer shoebox, a dust cover (for thongs? seriously!), or a celebrity endorsement. None of that justifies the ridiculous price tag.
Who puts their thongs in a dust cover anyway?!
At Slappas, we don’t believe you should have to choose between comfort, durability, and doing the right thing. Our thongs are designed to last — season after season — thanks to our quality materials, arch support, and thoughtful design. They're made to mould to your feet, not fall apart after a summer.
That’s why we say Slappas are affordable luxury. Not because they cost a fortune, but because they feel great, wear well, and last longer than the cheap stuff — without the inflated price tag or questionable ethics.
You won’t find gimmicky marketing or $2,000 handbags here. Just a product with purpose and a loyal following that’s grown over 15 years from the ground up. And we’re still family-run, proudly Aussie-designed, and passionate about doing things the right way.
More than just a thong — it’s a Slappa.
Good for your feet. Better for your wallet. Honest in every step.
