Espadrilles are an essential key item in the HEREU collection.
Espadrilles have long been part of HEREU's collections.
Spain has a strong historical connection with espadrilles going back centuries, and the name comes from the Catalan word "espardenya", spoken in the eastern part of Spain, around Barcelona, which means "esparto grass", used to make traditional ropes and baskets.
Their strong historical ties to Spain stretch back centuries, and their name comes from the Catalan word, “espardenya”, which refers to the native esparto grass used traditionally in the creation of rope and basketry.
It was only natural for HEREU to update the classic espadrilles, which have been loved by Mediterranean people for generations, and HEREU has taken a new approach to the style, taking a unique approach based on its strong interest in folk art.
Here's why we decided to reinterpret the classic espadrille into new, refined variations that were a natural one. The brand's keen interest in folk techniques here takes on a new significance, given that espadrilles have been worn continuously by people in the Mediterranean for generations.
The appeal of "HORTA" and "CAPRALA" is the luxurious leather used and the ease of wearing due to the elasticity of the rubber. Made by skilled craftsmen in Alicante, these shoes are a new look for espadrilles made by hand in the Mediterranean.
HEREU's espadrille styles such as Horta and Caprala offer luxurious fabrications in leather, as well as elasticated sections for greater comfort. Manufactured in Alicante by specialist artisans, they join a lineage of espadrilles crafted by hand in the Mediterranean.
