Basque Country espadrilles: the craftsmanship behind Baskez
The espadrille is a shoe from the South, born on both sides of the Pyrenees. Its signature can be summed up in one word: its rope sole. The Baskez take this summer classic and give it the look of a lace-up sneaker. Here is how they are made.
Handmade in small batches
Each pair is handmade by local artisans in the heart of the Spanish Basque Country. No mass production: the Baskez are made in small batches. This choice allows for meticulous work, pair after pair, and attention to every detail.
Materials selected in Europe
The materials are carefully selected in Europe. Canvas for the upper, espadrille sole, laces: each element is chosen for its lightness and comfort, two essential qualities for a summer shoe.
A short and responsible supply chain
Our approach is based on a short, ethical, and environmentally friendly supply chain. Manufacturing close to home, in Europe, means limiting transport and knowing who makes our shoes. For us, style and environmental awareness can go hand in hand.
Between tradition and contemporary design
The result: a shoe that combines casual style and elegance. Lightweight, comfortable, and full of character, the Baskez revisit a summer classic with a chic and modern touch. They accompany you just as well on the sand of a beach as during your summer evenings.
And the rest of the collection?
European craftsmanship does not stop at shoes. Our France Edition t-shirts are knitted in France from 220 g/m² organic cotton certified by GOTS. The sports bag is 100% made in France, and the leather coin purse is entirely made in France.
