Make Your Own Espadrilles

Handmade espadrille wedges

Your platform espadrilles are printed through and through. It starts with our stylish and vintage feel linen look canvas. This breathable and airy fabric is used to create the exterior of your shoes. Your photos are printed deep into the fibres of the linen look canvas. This locks in the ink and creates a long-lasting and consistent print that will not rub off.

Once printed, your heels are cut and stitched to perfection. You can opt for the natural or black finish, which includes the trims, laces and eyelets. When you select the black finish, the lining of the shoe will remain natural. The wedges are lined with cooling cotton drill and for the insole, there are two choices: printed fabric or unprinted leather. For a totally vegan shoe, please select the fabric option.

Once the shoes have been cut, stitched, and shaped, they are bonded and sewn onto natural jute wedges, specially made for us in Spain. This gives your shoes a lovely vintage vibe. The finished look is one of a classic espadrille wedge with a contemporary twist. The lace up detail is fresh and youthful and the inclusion of your photos and designs helps turn these shoes into a real style statement.

Make Your Own Espadrilles

You can design your espadrilles in several areas, which means your photos will cover the entire body of the shoe. It is important to consider the style of the shoe when uploading your photos. For example, key details should be kept as centred as possible and away from the edge. This way, they will not get incorporated into the stitching. It is also important to consider the eyelets when uploading your design, as these could take away details, if printed in the same area. The wedge of your espadrille is made from natural jute, so think about what colours would work best to complement this. As you can print on the tongue, remember that the laces will cover a portion of it up, so perhaps stick to a pattern or block colour for the tongue. Logos or a message work great for printing on the inside of the tongue.

Inject your personality

Create a shoe with a lot of personality. These espadrilles can be personalised in several areas, so make sure take full advantage. A mix of photos and designs look particularly good on your new wedges. Try uploading a favourite photo onto the main body of the shoe and then a complementary design onto the toes. If your photo is summer themed with a beach, then a cute stripe design featuring beach hut colours would look beautiful.
