Espadrij l'originale® is a European company with headquarters in Düsseldorf. From there we not only develop new designs, but also cover the areas of sales, logistics, PR and marketing in-house. Your order is also packaged here and sent on its way to you, because everything we do is done with love.
With tradition.
In the 80s, there was hardly anyone who didn't have at least one pair of the light canvas shoes with plant soles and rubber coverings in their shoe closet. After their heyday, they went quiet for a long time. Espadrij l'originale brings back the original espadrilles. While most models on the market today are inferior, poorly manufactured products, Espadrij l'originale offers tried and tested, original quality.
And history.
Espadrij l'originale works exclusively with the last remaining manufacturers in France who still manufacture in the traditional way. The result: an unmistakable look and the highest quality that excludes mass-produced goods.
Responsible Production
With every one of our products, the guiding principle is to act with respect for people and nature. That's why we consciously choose natural and sustainable materials that reflect our values. We take this approach with our packaging as well: it's made from recycled, FSC-certified material. In our workshops, not only are the working conditions fair, but the employees also receive above-average pay, which we regularly verify on-site.
long-term partnership
We believe that true quality lies not only in the product, but also in the people behind it. That's why we work almost exclusively with family businesses that have passionately passed down their craft for generations. These partnerships, often built over many years, are based on trust, respect, and a shared understanding of responsibility. This is the foundation that allows us to offer our customers not just products, but also a genuine promise of consistency and quality.
Short distances
As a brand, we take responsibility – for our actions and for our environment. That's why we rely on traditional European production facilities, which enable short transport routes and resource-efficient manufacturing. Our in-house design department and internal product warehouse also ensure direct coordination and efficient processes. This is how we guarantee that quality, transparency, and sustainability go hand in hand.
