    • We have been manufacturing espadrilles for 3 generations . Since 1979, we have been working thanks to a unique know-how developed in Mauléon.

      We also open the doors of our workshop to you, to share our family passion with you through a guided tour. You will be able to enter the hubbub of the workshop, to observe the helping hand of the workers.

    Thank you for this visit with the manufacturing of espadrilles according to the different phases, starting from the hemp sole, the molding and gluing of it, the cutting of the fabric, then its assembly, with the stitching and finishing! All the patterns of the canvases are very pretty and modern! It was a great discovery for me, in particular the double stitching of the sole. Thank you very much for your welcome and your "showroom". Bravo also for the bags and all the objects of your production! I recommend your know-how!
