Espadrilles have a rich history, dating back over 4000 years. Originating in the Pyrenees, the mountainous region between Spain and France, they were originally the common footwear of peasants. The name 'espadrille' itself is derived from 'esparto', a type of plant that was burned then braided to create the durable soles. It was the Catalans, a people known for their perseverance and attention to detail, who perfected the design and manufacture of these shoes, using local materials and traditional craftsmanship. Over time, the humble espadrille evolved from a utilitarian shoe to a fashion statement, adorning the feet of Hollywood stars and fashionistas worldwide. Today, the making of espadrilles remains a cherished craft in Catalonia, preserving a tradition that's as fascinating as the region's own rich tapestry of history and culture.
