Size & Fit

Our platform 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 fabric and leather will soften and mold to your foot with wear. The adjustable ribbon ankle ties allow for a customised fit throughout the day.

Premium Natural Materials

Quality begins with exceptional materials. Our espadrilles are crafted from vibrant 100% cotton canvas, giving a classic natural look. Inside, a 100% sheep leather lining offers exceptional breathability and a soft, natural feel against the skin. The traditional jute-wrapped platform wedge lends an organic finish, while the durable rubber outsole provides modern practicality without compromising on style. Colourful ribbon ankle ties add a playful finishing touch.

Style Meets Comfort

These espadrilles prove that timeless style and comfort can coexist beautifully. The 7cm platform heel offers graceful elevation while distributing weight evenly across the foot - unlike stilettos that place pressure on the ball. The breathable open-toe silhouette and eye-catching canvas transition effortlessly from beachside cafes to summer celebrations, while the adjustable ribbon ankle ties ensure a secure, custom fit throughout the day. They're made for warm-weather adventures.
