Craftsmanship
The craftsmanship behind every pair.
It all starts with the material. Jute, textures and colours, then the hands that assemble and stitch. At Atelier COSTÀ, traditional espadrille techniques give rise to footwear in which the construction is part of the character — handcrafted in Spain, made to order.
Materials
All our footwear is built on a jute sole. It begins as a jute braid, coiled and stitched into the shape of the sole: this is what gives the espadrille its natural texture and recognisable look.
The braided jute sole
A plant fibre, braided then stitched: a light base with a natural feel, which can also come in colour.
The uppers
Leather, suede, velvet, canvas or wool depending on the model: each material changes the character of the same silhouette.
The Craft
In traditional espadrille craftsmanship, the hand remains the main tool. Our footwear follows these techniques: the upper is hand-stitched to the jute sole with a needle, along its edge.
Hand-stitching
Stitch by stitch, the upper is sewn to the sole. This visible seam is the signature finish of a handcrafted espadrille.
Assembly
For wedges, the upper, straps and jute sole are assembled in the workshop, step by step.
Made to Order
We do not produce for permanent stock. Each run is developed and made in Spain for a specific professional project: the private label collection of a brand, a boutique or a concept store.

Comfort
Beneath the insole of our footwear, we add a layer of memory foam. It brings softness underfoot while keeping the look and lightness of the jute sole.
