Brand history
The creation of the brand dates back to 1776. Then Rafael Castanier first began to create espadrilles. These shoes were made from fabric and woven soles. Espadrilles are more durable and comfortable. Only in 1927 did his descendants learn about the work of their ancestor.

Then Luis Castagnier and Tom Serra, added small innovations to production, began to produce espadrilles. When the war ended, the economic crisis began to dictate its own rules. Most people have limited funds and it has become difficult to buy new clothes. Therefore, they bought rubber models that were more practical and durable. At this time, the company began a sharp decline in production.

How to care?
- The main enemy of textile footwear is moisture. Rope sole deteriorates the most from water. It absorbs a lot of water and swells.
- Drying near heating appliances is not recommended, as there is a risk of ruining your shoes.
- You need to clean with soft brushes and napkins, but very carefully. Excessive friction can damage the product and spoil its appearance.
- Try to wear textile shoes only in dry weather.

Lovers of unusual shoes cannot pass by the rope sole. She adds a unique style and lightness to any look. And bright colors of wedges and all kinds of prints attract the eyes of others.
Men are used to wearing closed shoes, but they often create a "greenhouse" effect. Having put on soft and thin espadrilles, they no longer want to go back to their old shoes. And if at work such shoes may not always be appropriate, then on vacation and in private time, men prefer comfortable shoes.
