In a handful of Spanish villages, the centuries’ old tradition of villagers hand sewing the espadrille in the comfort of their own home still remains. The seamstresses sew the espadrilles by hand with an ancestral technique, always using the same tools and making the exact same motion.
The manufacturing of espadrilles provides steady work to hundreds of persons working at home, sewing the espadrilles by hand with an ancestral technique, as style and production expertise have been handed down from generation to generation.
