Our Notes

An easy summer slip-on with the relaxed feel of a traditional espadrille. Made in a family-run factory in Spain, it pairs a soft canvas upper with a natural jute sole for the kind of light, breezy shoe you slide on without thinking — for the garden, the beach walk, a warm evening out, or just kept by the back door to throw on.

The upper is a soft canvas made from 100% recycled polyester — spun from recycled plastic bottles — and it's lined in the same recycled canvas turned to its softer reverse side against the foot, so it's breathable enough to wear with or without socks. Underneath is proper traditional espadrille construction: a wedge of coiled and braided natural jute forms the sole, with a thin TR outsole bonded underneath for grip and a bit of durability where a classic espadrille would wear through. A smooth built-in footbed and the slightly wider fit make them comfortable for all-day easy wear.

Wear them with shorts and a tee in the sun, with linen trousers for a warm evening, or slip them on barefoot around the house — they double happily as a comfy pair of house shoes.

Materials

Lining: Lined in the same recycled canvas as the uppers, turned to its softer reverse side against the foot (100% recycled polyester). Breathable, moisture-absorbing and antimicrobial, so your feet stay fresh and you can wear them with socks or without.
Insole: Built-in footbed (100% PU) – smooth and flat, formed as part of the sandal's construction
Outsole: Braided natural jute wedge with a thin TR outsole bonded underneath for grip and durability

Care Guide

Vegan leather: Wipe the straps and toe with warm soapy water and a cloth, then towel dry thoroughly. Jute wedge: The braided jute is a natural plant fibre and shouldn't be soaked — never submerge these or wash them through. Brush off dry dirt with a soft, dry brush, and for marks, spot-clean gently with a barely damp cloth and a little mild soap, using as little water as possible. Dab dry with a towel straight away. The woven heel panel can be spot-cleaned the same way. Drying: If they get wet, let them dry naturally at room temperature, away from radiators and direct sun — heat can make the jute brittle and sun can yellow it. Stand them upright with air around them, and give the jute a day or more to dry fully through, as the rope holds moisture longer than it looks. Weather: These are dry-weather sandals. Jute soaks up water, and repeated soaking can weaken the braid, mark the rope, and let mildew develop — so keep them for warm, dry days and avoid rain and wet grass. If they do get caught out, dry them fully as above before wearing again. Storage: Store them somewhere dry with airflow — not a damp bag or sealed box — so the natural fibre stays fresh between summers.
