An icon made to last

Espadrilles took root in the Pyrenees, between France and Spain. An essential shoe, made from natural fibres and by hand, shaped for everyday movement.

In the 1980s, they became something more.

The 1980s: the start of an icon

In the first half of the decade, through Ferrari & Zenobi, Espadrilles become a cultural phenomenon. No longer only a functional shoe, but a sign of relaxed, recognisable style.
The campaigns of those years tell a precise aesthetic: Mediterranean light, clean lines, ease.

Espadrilles are worn by international figures and reread by designers who see their contemporary potential.

They enter a shared imagination: simple, true, timeless.
