Alpargatas or Espadrilles so Spanish Mediterranean with its jute rope or braid sole became fashionable in the USA in the 40’s. Lauren Bacall wore the lace up version in the movie Key Largo in 1948! Yves Saint Laurent’s wedge version became a reality in the 70’s and are still popular today.

We would like to present you the Flatform Espadrille. These have a bit more character than your typical flat espadrille and are more chic than your regular wedge.

You can wear the flatform espadrille with anything! Wear them with a dress or skirt, mini or maxi, with shorts, with culottes, with jeans... you get the point.

Here we have the coolest ones, 3 Styles and all under $100. Take advantage, almost all of them are on sale!

1. "Traditional" Almond Toe

Striking the perfect blend of chic and comfortable. Complete with natural jute trim, they add a boho glam finish to any look. Fastened with rope-like straps or braided that gracefully tie at the ankle, they are a go-to staple for the season. Customize your look with on trend lace up that you can crisscross high or low. The cutest ones are created from shimmering metallic canvas, feature lace-like embroidery or come in neutral or bright cheery colors.
