About Espadrij

Düsseldorf company.
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.
FAQ
What is natural rubber?
Natural rubber is a renewable resource derived from the latex of the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis). The latex is gently extracted without damaging the tree and then further processed to create a durable, stretchy, and water-repellent material. We use natural rubber in our Classics to improve comfort and durability while focusing on sustainability. Unlike synthetic alternatives, natural rubber is biodegradable and environmentally friendly—the perfect choice for responsible fashion.
Are the Classics expanding?
Yes, our Classics may stretch slightly over time because they're made from natural materials like cotton and canvas. The fabric may loosen slightly with wear and mold to the shape of your feet, providing a more comfortable fit. However, the jute sole will retain its shape. To ensure the best fit, we recommend choosing the correct size when purchasing and avoiding excessive wear in very wet conditions.
What is the best way to style the Classics?
Our Classics are versatile and can be styled in so many different ways! For a casual look, you can pair them with denim shorts or a flowing summer dress. They also pair perfectly with linen trousers or skirts for a relaxed, beachy vibe. If you prefer a more chic style, you can also combine our Classics with skinny trousers or a midi dress. The special thing about our Classics is that they go well with both casual and more elegant outfits, making them perfect for every occasion!
Can I wear the Classics for a longer walk?
Our Classics are ideal for short to medium-length walks, especially in warm weather. They offer a breathable and comfortable fit, but they may not provide the same support as athletic shoes for longer distances. If you plan on walking longer distances, you might want to consider our Classics with a thicker sole or add insoles for added comfort. They're perfect for relaxed strolls, beach walks, or casual outings.
