About Castaner
Castañer is a renowned Spanish shoe brand, best known for its espadrilles. The company has a rich history that dates back to 1776, when the Castañer family started making espadrilles in a small workshop. However, it was in the 20th century that the brand gained significant recognition and transformed into a global fashion icon.
In the 1920s, Luis Castañer and his cousin Tomás Serra founded the brand's first factory, marking the transition from a small artisan workshop to a more industrial setup. The brand continued to grow, but it was in the 1960s that Castañer espadrilles really took the fashion world by storm. This era marked a pivotal moment when Yves Saint Laurent met the Castañers at a trade fair in Paris and collaborated with them to create the first ever high-heeled espadrille. This innovation was a game-changer and placed Castañer on the international fashion map.
Castañer's espadrilles are characterised by their quality and craftsmanship. Traditionally, espadrilles are casual, flat, but the introduction of the wedge espadrille by Castañer offered a more elegant and stylised version. The shoes are made using natural materials like canvas and jute, and are known for their durability and comfort.
In addition to its fashionable appeal, Castañer is also recognised for its commitment to sustainability. The brand has taken steps to reduce its environmental impact, reflecting a growing trend in the fashion industry towards more responsible production practices.
