DIEGOS® - Navy blue Espardenya

Step back in time with these authentic handcrafted espadrilles, a testament to the artistry of the 1960s, before modern vulcanization and rubber soles revolutionized footwear.

The sole of each pair is meticulously hand-stitched by Vicente, lovingly known as \"El Borracho\", one of the last remaining alpargateros (espadrille artisans) in northern Spain. Made from braided jute rope, the soles are shaped and sewn by hand using a punch on a custom-designed wooden bench, preserving the traditional craftsmanship of the era. Features:

Handcrafted in Spain

Can be used as slip-ons

No rubber on the sole

The original espadrille

Eco-friendly vegan footwear

Authenticity: Most espadrilles on the market today are mass-produced overpriced imitations, often made in China. True espadrilles are traditionally crafted in France or Spain. If you want to make sure you have a real espadrille, check where it\'s made, if it\'s hand stitched, if the sole is made of rope and if the embroidery at the front is real, most are not.

Materials: The soles are crafted from jute thread and recycled textile fibers sourced from Barcelona, while the canvas is 100% organic cotton. All components are sewn by hand and made with organic materials for a sustainable touch.

Did you know?: Espadrilles trace back to at least the 13th century in the Pyrenees region between Spain and France.
