Castañer

Over its 90 years of existence, heritage Spanish footwear label Castañer has transformed the humble espadrille into a worldwide player in the fashion world. Originating as a specialist in traditional espadrilles, Castañer went on to create the first ever wedge espadrille for Yves Saint Laurent’s esteemed collection of chasseurs in the 1970s. The brand continues to hold a privileged position in the fashion world as the official espadrille maker for fashion labels including Chanel, Tom Ford and Hèrmes, among others. 

Each pair of Castañer espadrille sandals or wedges is handmade by specialised espadrille craftsmen, and their timeless design and expanding collection is perfect for taking you from the sand to the city. Since the establishment of the brand’s first shop in Barcelona in 1994, Castañer has grown to take on stores in prestigious global destinations from Madrid to Paris, Saint Tropez to Tokyo.
