The Espadrille Craft

Preserving the art of the espadrille

Expert Crafters. Timeless Tradition.

All our espadrilles are hand-crafted in Cape Town, South Africa by a small team of highly-skilled local artisans. The 'esparto" rope soles are made in Spain and transformed by hand into our beautiful range by this incredible team. Each pair is hand sewn, made with absolute care and love. We feel privileged to be a part of preserving this art which is slowly disappearing.
