Castañer
Credited with creating the first wedge espadrille for Yves Saint Laurent in the Sixties, this Spanish brand's impeccable style credentials are boosted further by a bridal collection in collaboration with Manolo Blahnik and a summer Missoni collab.
The footwear of choice for Kate Middleton's unveiling of her Chelsea Flower Show garden - if they're good enough to meet Her Majesty, they're good enough for our summer of backyard barbecues and London's city beaches.

Manebí
The idea for Manebís was born on holiday in St Stropez. Now the brand's espadrilles are designed in Milan and handmade in La Rioja. The natural jute sole means your feet can breathe and shouldn't overheat.
Fun and fashion forward, look for influencer collabs and trend-led colourways.

Founded in 2012 by an industrial designer and an architect. Based in Barcelona with shoes handmade in Spain, we love the look of Naguisa's pared-back website almost as much as its contemporary take on the Spanish classic.
A dusty colour palette combines with design fripperies such as bows, ribbons, fringing and pom-poms. Just one pair is never enough.

Founded in 1978, Gaimo remains a family business, fusing traditional production in La Rioja with a contemporary aesthetic, bold colours and a healthy hit of irreverence.
With multiple styles, colourways and fabrics covered, we love the choice for everything from classic courts to colour-blocked soles.

Yes you read that right, the Scottish brand best known for its covetable cashmere is also one of our favourite purveyors of espadrilles.
Specialising in mid-height wedges, these are the sort of shoes you will wear with everything, all summer long.

Did you know the brilliant charitable canvas shoe brand Toms also makes espadrilles?
We love the vegan versions in particular, and are quite taken with the colour-matched soles.

Founded in New York by a Brit ex-pat, this brand is inspired by the traditional espadrille but takes it in far-reaching directions.
Embroidered and appliqued espadrille slippers in canvas and leather are great off duty summer shoes, while block heel and wedge sandals carry the classic plaited trim.
