A Responsible Wardrobe with the Black Espadrille Made in France
As temperatures rise, it's time to bring out skirts, shorts, breezy tops, and, of course, summer shoes. Light fabrics, vibrant colors, and stylish essentials make their way into our wardrobes. And for seaside strolls, trips with friends, and relaxed summer evenings, there’s one must-have accessory: black espadrilles!
Black in Summer? Absolutely!
Chic and effortlessly fashionable, black remains a go-to color for a sleek and stylish summer look. And what better way to incorporate it into your warm-weather wardrobe than with a pair of black espadrilles?
Comfort Above All
The comfort of espadrilles is undeniable, thanks to their natural materials and simple yet effective design. Crafted from canvas, rope, and rubber, these elements come together to create a relaxed, breathable shoe.
For our black espadrilles, we stay true to tradition with artisanal craftsmanship. Designed with a flat sole and a closed-toe cut, they offer both style and ease. The insole is made of natural jute, which molds to the shape of your foot over time for a customized fit. Meanwhile, the recycled cotton canvas allows for maximum breathability while aligning with our eco-conscious values.
Handcrafted with Care
Deeply rooted in Basque heritage, the black Payote espadrille is made following a time-honored tradition. Each pair goes through 11 meticulous manufacturing steps, from cutting the canvas to stitching the label. Our trusted workshop in Mauléon, a family-run business spanning three generations, specializes in espadrille craftsmanship.
The expertise of these artisans shines through in the modern nylon-thread stitching, which enhances durability. The rubber outsole is vulcanized onto the rope sole, ensuring a strong bond through heat and pressure for long-lasting wear. A tricolor bias is also stitched inside for a discreet nod to French craftsmanship - an elegant detail just for you.
A Sustainable Choice
By choosing locally made espadrilles, you're directly contributing to reducing the carbon footprint of fashion. Supporting French craftsmanship helps preserve an artisanal trade and ensures ethical production. For us, style and sustainability go hand in hand, which is why we continuously update our collections, blending contemporary trends with traditional techniques.
How to Style Black Espadrilles
Versatile and timeless, black espadrilles complement any summer outfit. Pair them with shorts for the beach, jeans for a casual city look, or even a sequined top for an evening out. A classic combination? High-waisted light blue jeans, a white top, and a rope bag—effortlessly chic. On warmer days, swap the jeans for breezy shorts to keep things cool and comfortable.
Timeless, stylish, and responsibly made - these black espadrilles check all the boxes for a must-have summer staple!
