New Dupe introduced in the Philippines

When choosing slippers, what do we really look for? Is it the design, the color, the look, the price, the value or the quality? For me, all these factors are very important that contribute to my purchasing decision. Dupé, a Brazilian slippers brand, speaks true about the value for your money and durability.

Background
The word Dupe, pronounced as DO Pé, is a Portuguese term which literally means “of the feet”. It connotes a natural extension of the foot.  The brand originated in 1969 in Northeast Brazil. This is also where the brand’s only factory and corporate office are located. It is distributed and sold nationwide to more than 50 countries including the Philippines. It is the 2nd in rubber sandals sales in Brazil, following Havaianas.
