THE MAKING OF AN ICON
THE CREATION OF AN ESPADRILLE IS A STORY OF AUTHENTICITY, WHERE TIMELESSNESS AND CRAFTSMANSHIP ARE ITS ESSENCE. DISCOVER HOW THE MANUFACTURE OF THE ESPADRILLE HAS HARDLY CHANGED OVER THE PAST 90 YEARS.
1. MADEJADO
WE TRAVEL THROUGH INDIA AND BANGLADESH TO DISCOVER THE BEST QUALITY JUTE. THE ELABORATION OF 100% NATURAL JUTE SKEINS AND ITS SUBSEQUENT DYEING. IS THE BEGINNING OF THIS ADVENTURE, THE BASE TO MAKE THE SOLES OF ALL OUR MODELS.
2. BRAIDING
CASTAÑER'S HERITAGE, HIS LEGACY, ALWAYS PRESENT. THE JUTE BRAIDING MACHINES ARE THE SAME ONE THAT WERE INVENTED IN THE CASTAÑER ATELIER ALMOST ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR A UNIQUE AND HANDMADE BRAIDING TECHNIQUE.
3. URDIDO
THE ESPADRILLE REVEALS ITS ICONIC SHAPE. THE SOLE IS WORKED ON A WHEEL-SHAPED TABLE THAT SERVES AS A MOLD FOR THE JUTE BRAID. THIS SHAPE IS THE ORIGIN OF THE ORIGINAL ESPADRILLE.
4.SOLE STITCHING
THERE IS ONLY ONE MACHINE IN THE WORLD THAT SEWS JUTE BRAIDE LIKE THIS. IT WAS DESIGNED AND CREATED BY TOMÁS SERRA, MECHANIC AND CO-FOUNDER OF THE BRAND. TODAY, IT IS STILL ONE OF THE GREAT TREASURES OF THIS ATELIER.
5. TROQUELING
THE DIE-CUT OF EACH RUBBER DIFFERS ACCORDING TO THE MODEL OR THE NUMBER. LATER, THE DIE-CUT IS GLUED TO THE SOLE TO MAKE IT MORE CONSISTENT. THE DIE IS THEN GLUED TO THE SOLE TO MAKE IT MORE CONSISTENT.
6. VULCANIZADO
ALWAYS IN SEARCH OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY. THE VULCANIZATION PROCESS FIXES THE BRAIDED SOLE AND THE DIE-CUT RUBBER PERFECTLY AND WITHOUT ANY FISSURE, THROUGH MOLDS EXPOSED TO TEMPERATURES OF 150º.
7. TALONERA
DETAILS THAT INSPIRE STYLE, SIMPLICITY AND CLASS. THE HEEL COUNTER IS A UNIQUE DETAIL IN THE MOST ICONIC MODELS. MADE WITH LINEN AND COTTON YARNS OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY, ON ANTIQUE LOOMS OF 1900 FULL OF HISTORY.
8.STITCHING
ARTISAN HANDS AND ALL THE TRADE IN THE WORLD. TODAY, MANY OF THE MODELS ARE STILL SEWN BY HAND AS THEY WERE DONE 90 YEARS AGO.
About Us
The first Castañer atelier was founded in 1927. Since then, we have turned a popular form of footwear into a sophisticated product closely associated with design and fashion. Our encounter with Yves Saint Laurent in the 1970s went down in the history of world fashion, and together we created the first wedge espadrille. Today, after 90 years, our product has a worldwide reach, but our essence remains as authentic as it was in 1927: tradition, craftsmanship and natural materials.
