The Espadrilles etymology originates from the Catalan “espardenya” shoe made of esparto – the material used to make the ropes in a past that has never passed. Shoes that permeate history, years of evolutions, changes in colours, wedge heights, patches that paint the canvases: changes that have not altered their simplicity, which is the undisputed essence of the brand.

Since 1970 Espadrilles has embarked on a far-sighted path that, step by step, leaves its “green” imprint in the Olympics of fashion: the sole, made of spelt or hemp is sewn strictly by hand on the cotton canvas, giving life to an evergreen. The high-quality construction, typical of the handcrafted products, combines the taste of simplicity with the creativity of a real eco-friendly design object.

The irony of the colours that paint the shoes and make summer beautiful are vehicles of values: the brand’s sensitivity to environmental issues is an example of the success of a responsible fashion of natural originality.
