Bayona - L'espadrille Basque Handmade espadrilles in Saint-Jean-de-Luz

Bayona, a Basque espadrilles house with 130 years of history

Founded in 1890, the Bayona house passes on the love of beauty and well-made goods from generation to generation. In 1999, while the factories were closing, Pierre Larralde, a former employee of the house, decided to buy the brand and pass it on to his son, Nicolas Larralde.

Bayona is above all a family story claiming a modernity respectful of the past with traditional and elegant collections. Each espadrille is handmade in the pure Basque tradition with rigor and creativity. The gesture of the craftsman is highlighted with the aim of preserving, promoting and transmitting to generations the ancestral know-how of Basque heritage.

Today, Bayona continues to grow. Located in Saint-Jean-de-Luz at 30 and 60 rue Gambetta, a third brand will open its doors in June 2022 in Bayonne. Also present on the internet, bayona.fr will celebrate its first candle in May 2022.
