We fell in love with raffia shoes from Morocco. They just ooze old Hollywood or that retro Riviera style Artisans in Essaouira have been making them the same way for decades and they worked with us to make a few modifications to the sole and toe shape to fit our vision. It takes a day for a young maker to make one pair of shoes, half a day for an experienced one. These Moroccan slippers are a wonderful alternative to a classic loafer or an espadrille. What better to celebrate the change of the seasons than seasonal footwear?
- Uppers made of woven raffia; unlined
- Mocassin loafer style with stitched apron
- Cowhide leather sole; stacked leather heel
- Padded and lined heel area for comfort
- Sizes are European sizes; fit is true to size for that looser 'step in, step out' fit. Size down for a tighter fit
- Each shoe is woven and made by hand so each is unique and has differences and idiosyncracies
- Raffia harvested from Madagascar palm trees; shoes entirely handmade in Essaouira, Morocco
