Espadrilles are part of our “cultura mediterránea” and we want to share the experience with you without losing one drop of authenticity. Our Espadrilles have been made in the same way as they have always been; completely by hand. We respect the entire process and guarantee that, as it has to be, they are entirely made in Spain.
This shoe became popular in the 1950’s when it was used by Yves St Laurent to compliment his Parisian styles. Today, espadrilles are still extremely popular in Spain, especially in the summer. People like it because of the sole, which is 100% natural, molds itself to the shape of the foot, and allows the skin to breathe. The simplicity of this shoe makes very versatile and therefore easy to match with all sorts of different styles.
Espadrilles became the ‘play shoes’ for European style-makers like Coco Chanel, Brigitte Bardot, Grace Kelly, Lauren Bacall, Princess Caroline or Princess Diana. Still a Spanish favorite and a must buy at the start of the summer, Spanish Shop Online's espadrilles come from one of Madrid's oldest alpargaterias, Casa Hernanz, founded in 1840 and located just off the Plaza Mayor.
The essential part of the traditional espadrille is the quality of the rope used to make the soles. The thread created from jute is strong, and it also has exceptional insulating properties, low thermal conductivity, and antistatic characteristics. Jute fiber is 100% natural, bio-degradable and recyclable and thus environmentally friendly.
