Victoria Bitter has teamed up with Thongs Australia to release a stylish pair of statement thongs for your long weekend drinking session.

Adopting minimalist design principles, the thongs reveal VB colours and branding, with the phrase “A hard earned thirst needs a big cold beer” printed on the inner strap.

Made from 100% natural rubber, they are deemed suitable for most Aussie conditions, including beers at the pub or a backyard game of thong toss.

Like all thongs from Thongs Australia, they come with a 12-month ‘no blow-outs’ guarantee.  If you’re looking for something to pair them with (besides the wife beater and stubbies) you can also try a BBQ shirt or resort shorts from this VB x Mr Simple clothing collaboration.

The premium footwear is being sold for $45 from victoriabitter.com.au.
