The Gothic Quarter workshop that invented the fashion espadrille in 1940 — wedge heels thirty years before Saint Laurent sent them down a runway. Jute soles hand-stitched to canvas in Barcelona; the Tasies family still guards Emilia's craft, and queues still form before the doors open.
Best for — authentic hand-made espadrilles from the source.
Hand-made in Barcelona; jute, hemp and esparto.
