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 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.

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 leather wedges 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 closed-toe silhouette transitions effortlessly from office meetings to evening gatherings, while the adjustable ankle strap ensures a secure, custom fit throughout the day. Lined in breathable, full-grain leather, they move with you confidently and comfortably from morning to night.
