Castaner X Diane von Furstenberg Gea Ballerina Espadrille UK5 Red Shoes RRP £160
THE FIRST CASTAÑER WORKSHOP WAS FOUNDED IN 1927, SINCE THEN THEY HAVE TURNED A SHOE OF POPULAR ORIGIN INTO A SOPHISTICATED PRODUCT, CLOSELY LINKED TO DESIGN AND FASHION. THEIR MEETING WITH YVES SAINT LAURENT IN THE 1970S MADE HISTORY IN THE WORLD OF FASHION. TOGETHER THEY CREATED THE FIRST ESPADRILLE WITH WEDGE. TODAY, AFTER 90 YEARS, THEIR PRODUCT HAS REACHED THE WHOLE WORLD, BUT THE ESSENCE REMAINS AS AUTHENTIC AS IT WAS IN 1927: TRADITION, CRAFTSMANSHIP AND NATURAL MATERIALS.
Castañer's flat espadrille the Gea has been recreated, as part of a special collaboration, to feature cotton canvas with DVF's iconic Lips print in bright and cheerful shades.
