Create Your Own Espadrille Flats Online

Custom Espadrille Flats Handmade

We understand that your personal style is important to you. That is why we offer complete customization of all of our handmade products. Our skilled teams of designers, crafters, technicians, printers, and seamstresses all work together to ensure your espadrilles reflect not only your style, but are also flawlessly crafted and finished. The natural jute base of your new espadrille is made in Spain. You can opt to have this jute line your shoes, use a soft porcine leather or have printed fabric instead. The jute is a naturally durable and hard-wearing material that will give your shoes longevity and a gorgeous rustic finish. Please note, if you opt for the printed sole, the print will fade a little over time due to abrasion. 

Create artwork for your feet and design your own pair of espadrille flats. You can now make a fashion statement as you strut down the street thanks to our bespoke online design system. Upload your artwork, designs, illustrations, or photography all over the upper of your stylish new shoes. The canvas body is a dream for showing off colors and fine details and is strong and hardy enough to be worn every day. Our canvas has a natural linen look with a unique slub weave. Choose from a black or white finish to complete the look of your shoe. These determine the color of the binding, eyelets, and tape of the espadrilles. Your espadrilles have the choice of a cool cotton inner that is both breathable and moisture-wicking, soft porcine leather, or simply plain jute for the insoles.

How Would you Like the Edge?

We have four finishing options for your fabric order: 

• As it comes. We cut around your image, leaving a simply scissor cut, perhaps uneven white fabric border. 
• Hem with thread. We can hem your fabric with a choice of black or white thread. Please allow 1-2 days additional production time. See below for information on how hemming affects the size of your print. We offer an overlock hem, as well as a folded hem (one or two fold depending on the fabric) however not all fabrics are suited to both hem types. If you can see both options, it means both are suitable, and you will be able to choose whichever you prefer. 
• Cut on the line. We will cut neatly on the edge of your design. This means that if you have a border around your design we will cut around that border, if your design takes the whole space of the fabric, then we will neatly cut around the edge of that image. Please be aware, when we cut along the line, we have to cut against the grain of the fabric. This is the standard procedure for fabric cutting. This means that with some fabrics, for example, Georgette and Mulmul, which have a slight wave in them, some fraying will occur. This is unavoidable, as the cut follows the grain of the textile. 

All of our fabrics are cut manually by hand, with the utmost care and attention. If your fabric has a slightly uneven look on the edges or a touch of fraying, this does not indicate a flaw in the textile. It is not always possible to achieve a perfectly straight cut with certain fabrics, so please do bare this in mind when it comes to your design. If you have any queries or would like to know about our cutting methods in more detail, please get in touch and we will be more than happy to discuss them with you.

Please note: As we make everything by hand, all sizes may vary slightly.

What are these custom womens boots made from?

Your new shoes are made from a hybrid of sustainability and longevity. We use our linen-look canvas to create the body of your espadrilles. This durable fabric has the natural appearance of linen, with the strength and hard-wearing attributes of a synthetic. The inner is made from breathable and moisture-wicking cotton, thus combining the best of both worlds.

What parts of the espadrille flats can I customize?

You have the ability to customize several areas of your funky new espadrilles. First, select the color option; black or white. The black option includes black binding and tape. The lining of the shoe will still be natural. The white option includes white binding and natural lining and tape. You can then print your designs onto the whole upper of the shoe - this is one piece of fabric. You also have the option of printing the lining.

Are these shoes suitable for men and women?

Yes they are. At Contrado, we love designing clothing for everyone and anyone. As such, some of our styles are unisex. These flat espadrille shoes are no exception. They are available in a wide range of sizes, 35 - 44, so will suit a wide range of feet. Whatever your style and fashion choices are, make them your own by taking the design into your own hands.
