During this Onsite Espadrilles Experience you will stitch your own traditional Catalan espadrilles, which you will keep afterwards as the most amazing souvenir.
We will meet at one of our workshops, where you can see the finished products and the materials. The artisans will be with you at all time leading and providing the materials and tools.
First, we will introduce you to the story of espadrilles and the materials needed for their construction. You will learn about this beautiful tradition, and how this shoe design passed from being built for humble people, to be one of the most trendy in fashion nowadays.
Then every guest will choose the size of the base, the color of the laces and the preferred style. Once ready, we will stitch our own traditional espadrilles, and then learn the different ways to lace them up. There will be more than 100K different combinations!
It will be fun, not difficult and you will have constructed your own pair of traditional "espardenyes" by the end of it.
