Why you’ll love this…
- Feel like an artisan as you learn how to make your own pair of espadrilles
- Visit a workshop in Puerto Rico and learn about the materials used for espadrilles
- Find out how espadrilles went from humble begginings to modern-day fashion

What to expect
Learn about the history of the traditional Spanish espadrilles, stitch your own pair and take it home as the most amazing souvenir.
The experience will take place in a workshop filled with materials, tools and finished products. Here you can learn about the history of this humble folk shoe that has evolved into a major fashion trend. You'll find out the deepest secrets of this wonderful tradition. Together with master artisans, you'll craft your own pair of espadrilles. Hand-picking out of more than 100 thousand different combinations, you'll choose the size of the base, the stitching style and the colour and type of the laces. Once done, you'll learn the different ways to lace them up.
In the end, when you put on your espadrille creation, you will feel like a true artisan. You'll get a wearable memory of Puerto Rico (one that is hardly available to visitors) and a really cool story to tell.
You can choose between the following options available in the order box:
- Standard: shared experience with a glass of Cava and snacks included
- Premium: private experience with an unlimited flow of Cava, premium snacks, access to premium wedges and premium stitches and charms
