Authentic Espadrilles Workshop in Barcelona
Do this because
- Feel like an artisan as you learn how to make your own pair of espadrilles
- Visit a workshop in Barcelona and learn about the materials used for espadrilles
- Find out how espadrilles went from humble beginnings to modern-day fashion
- Choose from a variety of styles, lace colours, and sizes for your pair
What to expect
Learn about the history of the traditional Catalan 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. Handpicking 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 Barcelona (one that is hardly available to visitors) and a really cool story to tell.
You can choose between:
Option 1: shared experience with a glass of Cava and snacks included
Option 2: private experience with an unlimited flow of Cava, premium tapas, access to premium wedges and premium stitches and charms.
Important to know
Extra fees to be paid on-site:
- Option 1 of the workshop includes the flat traditional base. If you want to make it into a high heel, wedge or platform, ask the artisans for an upgrade of 49,90 €. Remember to mention it because by default they go straight for the flats
Know in advance:
- Shared workshop may be operated by a multilingual artisan
- The minimum age to join the experience is 8 years old
