Hari Mari
Hari Mari is a Texas based flip flop company specializing in bringing color & comfort to the premium flip flop industry. It created and sells a variety of rubber & leather flip flops that are sold online and in boutiques throughout the United States including Nordstrom, Sitich Fix, Huckberry, and Zappos. Launched in 2012 with headquarters in Dallas, Texas, Hari Mari has been highlighted in numerous publications including ESPN, Men's Journal, Business Insider, Men's Health and Women's Wear Daily.

History
Hari Mari was founded by Jeremy and Lila Stewart after spending three years living in Jakarta, Indonesia. During their time in Indonesia, Jeremy was producing a documentary film on children fighting hunger and malnutrition in Southeast Asia while Lila volunteered on behalf of the “American Women’s Association” in Jakarta, spearheading in-country fundraising, clothing drives, and food donations to aid and support orphans across the archipelago. Their experiences spurred a desire to help kids abroad.

Moving back to the U.S. in 2010, the two decided the next project they undertook would be to help kids in the US, and when they saw an unmet need for comfortable and colorful flip flops at a premium level, they joined their passions and founded Hari Mari. Paying homage to their commitment to helping kids and the trace root of the brand, “Hari” (Har-ee) means “sun” in the Indonesian Language while “Mari” (Mar- ee) means “sea” in Latin.

Philanthropy
Hari Mari's philanthropic initiative is called Flops Fighting Cancer where the company donates one percent of flip flop purchases to support kids and their families battling with pediatric cancer. The donations specifically ear-marked for pediatric oncology & hematology centers helping families regardless of their financial situation.

Products
Hari Mari currently manufactures 5 different lines that feature different characteristics that are unique to each particular line. Each pair of Hari Mari flip flops incorporates a patent-pending memory foam toe piece, carbon-free boat safe outsoles and arch support for increased stability.
