Natural Materials

Our wedges are crafted from premium natural materials chosen for both beauty and breathability. The uppers feature supple cow leather, while the interior is lined with 100% sheep leather for exceptional airflow and comfort. The signature jute-wrapped wedge heel provides an effortlessly natural look, with a durable rubber outsole for reliable traction. The open-toe design maximises ventilation, making these leather espadrille sandals ideal for warm-weather wear. These materials are sourced responsibly and selected to create footwear that's as kind to the earth as it is to your feet.

Composition:
• Outer: Full-grain cow leather
• Lining: 100% Sheep leather
• Insole: 100% Sheep leather
• Sole: Rubber
• Wedge height: 7cm (2.7 inches)
• Handcrafted in Kenya

Size & Fit

Our espadrilles fit true to size. We recommend ordering your usual size for the perfect fit. If you're between sizes, we suggest sizing down as the leather will soften and mold to your foot with wear. The adjustable ankle strap allows for minor fit adjustments, ensuring comfort throughout the day.

Care

Keep your leather footwear looking beautiful for years with proper care. Leather is a natural material that ages gracefully when treated well. 

Care Instructions: 

  • Remove loose dirt and dust with a soft bristle brush. 
  • For stubborn marks, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth or sponge. 
  • Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. 
  • Apply leather conditioner occasionally to maintain suppleness. 
  • Store in a cool, dry place using shoe trees to maintain shape. 
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to water or extreme temperatures. 

Free Shipping & Returns

Free Shipping from Melbourne: All orders ship free and are dispatched within 24 hours via express delivery with full tracking. 

Free 30-Day Returns: Not completely in love? Return your espadrilles within 30 days for a full refund—no questions asked.

Premium Natural Materials

Quality begins with exceptional materials. These wedge heels are crafted from carefully selected full-grain cow leather that develops a rich patina with age. Inside, a 100% sheep leather lining offers exceptional breathability and a soft, natural feel against the skin. The traditional jute-wrapped wedge lends an organic finish, while the durable rubber outsole provides modern practicality without compromising on style.

Style Meets Comfort

Our espadrille sandals prove that elegance and comfort can coexist beautifully. The 7cm wedge heel offers graceful elevation while distributing weight evenly across the foot - unlike stilettos that place pressure on the ball. The breathable open-toe silhouette transitions effortlessly from beachside cafes to sunset dinners, while the adjustable ankle strap ensures a secure, custom fit throughout the day. Lined in breathable, full-grain leather with an airy open-toe design, they're made for warm-weather adventures.
