Rioja Khaki
Aside from the obvious excellence that flows from Spain, it is also a centre of expertise for traditional hand crafted espadrilles. We have teamed up with a superb artisan factory for our Rioja leather espadrille. The natural jute is coiled by hand using a nail board to guide the sole shape, then secured, again by hand, with a horizontal side stitch. The outer base of the jute is protected by a rubber tread and we’ve finished the inside with a leather heel piece. The simple A-line upper pattern is a little more complex than it appears; the soft calf suede has a folded topline and is fully lined in calf leather with a suede back pull tab to give a little more structure to the heel. Finally, the upper is box stitched to the sole – and no surprises here – by hand.
