For years we made shoes the same way — cut, lasted and finished by hand, built to be resoled instead of replaced. We never chased a season and we never cut a corner to hit a price. We are closing our doors, and every pair still on the shelf leaves at a fraction of what it cost to make. When a size is gone, it is gone — these lasts will not be cut again. Not a promotion. A farewell on our own terms.
Description
Our take on the classic espadrille is set on a slightly elevated jute sole for a refined, effortless look. The soft upper and grounded silhouette make it a natural choice for warm-weather dressing. Each pair is handcrafted using traditional methods, giving every shoe a subtle, individual charm.
Details
- Cut, lasted and finished by hand
- Full-grain leather upper
- Built to be resoled, not replaced
- 1-year craftsmanship warranty
- Free cedar shoe trees included
Fit & sizing
Fits true to size – take your usual size
If you are between two sizes, take the larger one — leather softens and moulds to your foot within the first week.
Care
- Rotate between wears and insert the shoe trees after use to retain shape and minimise creasing.
- Use a shoe horn when putting them on and take them off by hand to protect the heel.
- Brush or wipe the leather upper after wear to remove dust and light surface marks.
- Clean with a leather cleaner when needed, then apply a thin layer of cream or polish if the leather looks dry.
- Let the sole dry at room temperature if it becomes damp and keep away from direct heat.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

How to measure your feet
1. Wear the socks you usually pair with these shoes.
2. Place your foot on a sheet of paper and trace its outline.
3. Measure from the heel to the longest toe with a ruler.
4. Match your measurement to the table and adjust for foot shape. The CM and inch values correspond to your foot's length, not the shoe's internal length.
Adjust for foot shape
– Normal: choose the size closest to your measurement.
– Wide and/or high instep: choose a full size larger than your nearest measurement.
– Narrow: choose the size closest to your measurement.

What our customers say
Real photos from our customers
Thought a shoe this structured would need weeks to break in but it was comfortable straight out of the box. Packaging was neat too, everything arrived well protected.
Didn't expect the sole to have this much grip. Walked on wet marble leaving the office and didn't even think about it. That's usually where I slide.
Not gonna lie, I've worn them three times this week just because I like looking down at them. Even nicer in person than on the website.
Bought it mostly for client meetings and ended up wearing it to dinner, drinks, everywhere. Pairs with literally every trouser I own.
What sold me is the heel doesn't rub at all. Walked from the office to the station and back all afternoon and totally forgot I had new shoes on.
Fits my orthotic insole without making the shoe look bulky. Didn't expect that from a last this sleek. Slides in, no fight, still looks sharp.
Was nervous about the size from the photos but it's spot on — substantial enough to feel quality, not so chunky it looks like a work boot. Worth the wait.
Been wearing these almost daily for a month now and the creasing is the thing I was most worried about — but it's settled in really clean, tight rolls across the vamp, not that deep cracked look cheap leather gets. Polish them once a week and they still look fresh.
