You probably never saw this coming: Iconic espadrille brand Castaner and heel-lover Manolo Blahnik teamed up to design a special collection–and its good.
In a special effort to celebrate their 90th anniversary, legendary espadrille brand Castañer unites with beloved shoe label Manolo Blahnik to create a capsule collection that shares their passion for handcraftsmanship and the zeal to create timeless pieces that surrender to beauty and feminity.
We can't help but fall in love with the collection, and here are our reasons why.
1) They both hail from the Mediterranean
Part of the reason why Castañer chose to collaborate with Manolo Blahnik was not only for Blahnik’s stellar reputation as a shoemaker, but their affinity to the Mediterranean. Blahnik himself hails from Palma and learned everything he knew by visiting factories and talking to operators, cutters and technicians just like the Castañer artisans in Catalonia.
