HERITAGE
In 1927 the first Castañer workshop was founded, since then we have turned a shoe of popular origin into a sophisticated product, closely linked to design and fashion.
Our meeting with Yves Saint Laurent in the 70's made history in the fashion world, together we created the first espadrille with wedge.
Today, after 90 years, our product has reached the whole world, but our essence is still as authentic as in 1927: tradition, craftsmanship and natural materials.
