The DNA of the Classic Mediterranean Style

Castañer is a brand that embodies the authentic Mediterranean tradition, combining exceptional craftsmanship with the effortless chic that is intrinsically tied to the Spanish lifestyle. With roots in the heart of the Mediterranean, the brand has successfully showcased the art of handmade espadrilles, bringing unique designs to the market each year that bear the stamp of quality and luxury.

The DNA of Castañer is simple and clear: the use of natural materials such as jute, raffia, suede, and organic cotton canvas integrates the warmth of nature into everyday life, offering a sense of relaxed comfort that exudes the spirit of dolce far niente—the Italian philosophy of enjoying the moment without haste. Every design is considered a work of art, crafted with care and attention to detail by the hands of Castañer’s artisans.

Collaborating with some of the most iconic fashion houses is an annual tradition for Castañer. Each year, the brand co-creates collections with renowned names in the fashion world, such as its partnership with Yves Saint Laurent in the 1970s to create the first jute platform espadrille (now exhibited at the MoMA in New York), as well as more recent collaborations with Missoni, DVF, Ancient Greek Sandals, Paul Smith, and others. These collaborations bring the timeless elegance of Castañer to new audiences and create unique, collectible editions that blend the brand’s tradition with contemporary fashion trends.

Castañer's presence in stores around the world, such as Harrods in London, Bergdorf Goodman in New York, Le Bon Marché in Paris, and flagship stores in major fashion capitals (including the new popup store at Golden Hall), makes the brand synonymous with luxurious everyday living and unparalleled quality that incorporates the Mediterranean atmosphere in every step.

Castañer remains a point of reference for timeless and authentic fashion, staying true to its values and continuing to inspire new generations with its unique style.
