Espadrilles and Hemp Shoes for Women

Espadrilles are summer shoes in the truest sense: lightweight uppers, flat soles, no lining. Our models are made from hemp and jute instead of leather or synthetics - making them breathable, durable, and vegan.

We offer three basic styles: slip-on ballet flats, closed slippers, and open sandals for hot days.

Why Hemp and Jute?

Hemp fibers are among the strongest natural fibers available. For shoes, that means the upper can withstand significantly more than cotton, absorbs very little odor, and becomes softer over time instead of looking shabby. It is also more dirt-resistant than most other natural materials.

All our shoes are free from animal-derived materials. Learn more about the fiber in hemp clothing.

Ballet Flats, Slippers, or Sandals?

1. Ballet flats: flat, lightweight, with no fastening. For the city, beach, and festivals.
2. Slippers: more closed and a little more supportive around the foot. The better choice for longer walks.
3. Sandals: open, for hot days. With a sturdy sole, not intended as flip-flops.

Depending on the model, the soles are made from rubber or jute with a rubber coating - both are slip-resistant and significantly more durable than pure bast soles.

Which Shoes Go with Harem Pants?

Because the trouser leg ends at the ankle, the shoe is clearly visible. Flat styles are almost always the right choice here: they do not add bulk and preserve the way the trousers drape. A low crotch and high heels work against each other visually.

Patterned trousers go well with solid-color shoes in earth tones or black. With solid-color trousers, the shoe can show more texture. Find matching trousers in women’s harem pants.

Fit and Sizes

Our shoes run rather narrow. If you have wide feet, you should choose one size larger. The upper gives a little after a few days and adapts to the foot - unlike plastic, which stays as it is.

Because there are no insoles, they are best worn with thin socks or barefoot. The flat sole and soft construction make them a comfortable choice for long summer days.

Care

Do not put them in the washing machine. Brush off coarse dirt when dry; treat stains with a damp cloth and a little soap. Then air-dry them, never on a radiator - this makes the sole hard.

We design our shoes ourselves and manufacture them with partner family businesses in northern Thailand and Nepal. CO2-neutral shipping, free from 80 euros.
