Service at a whole new level! - Wow, wow, wow! These folks understand good service! While we had our hearts set on making our own Espadrilles classes weren’t offers during Seville’s Féria. Via email, which they were unbelievably responsive too, we visited the store and had custom sandals made. Alexandra was expecting us and we received a welcome which included bell ringing. Had we known how excited they would be to see us we certainly would have recorded our greeting ☺️. The custom Espadrilles are gorgeous!

A great experience - the very warm, attentive welcome and good advice in this store. The shoes are all beautiful and of good quality. I chose little blue ankle boots that I wear extremely often because they are pretty and very comfortable.

A must do! - What a great time spent with Luis and Kathe in Seville.
Two hours customizing our espadrilles with the wise advice of our two wonderful hosts! Top atmosphere, tapas and cava. Frankly, we don't regret this activity chosen on a whim, while passing in front of the store.
Another big thank you to our two smiling and dynamic craftsmen!
We were lucky enough to only be two in this workshop, so it was super personalized <3

Fun activity - So much fun. Excellent guidance with just the right amount of help. And the espadrilles are completely wearable! The price of the workshop doesn't include upgrades, which you will very likely want (e.g., cushy soles, higher heels, different base styles).
