Reef is a brand of casual
sandals, known as
thongs, created by two Argentine brothers, Fernando and Santiago Aguerre. In 1984, they moved from Argentina to the
San Diego beach community of
La Jolla,
California, where they began Reef. Their product became popular amongst surfers and beach goers. Reef has subsequently grown into one of the world's leading active sandal manufacturers.
Reef was acquired by
VF Corporation in 2005 and was subsequently sold to The
Rockport Group in 2018.
