Castaner

About the Designer

Castañer is a historic Spanish footwear brand best known for elevating the classic espadrille into a globally coveted fashion staple through nearly a century of artisanal craftsmanship and Mediterranean influence. Founded in 1927 in Banyoles, Catalonia, Castañer transformed humble rope-soled shoes into sophisticated, stylish wedges and flats after a landmark collaboration with Yves Saint Laurent in the 1970s that introduced the first wedge espadrille and cemented the brand’s place in luxury fashion. Rooted in traditional hand-made techniques using natural materials like jute and linen, Castañer’s espadrilles blend timeless casual elegance with contemporary design, making them a perennial favorite of fashion editors, celebrities, and style-savvy consumers around the world.
