Gosh, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen espadrilles!  I think my Mom had a pair with a wedge heel when I was little.  Well everything comes back around eventually.  Tory Burch is showing some in her Spring Collection.

FYI – here is the history of espadrilles from Wikipedia: The term espadrille is French and derives from the Catalan name for the shoes, espardenya, which derives from espart, the Catalan name for esparto, a tough, wiry Mediterranean grass used in making rope. Espadrilles have been made in Catalonia since the 14th century at least, and there are Catalan shops still in existence that have been making espadrilles for over a century. Traditional espadrilles have a canvas upper with the toe and vamp cut in one piece, and seamed to the rope sole at the sides. Often they would have laces at the throat that would be wrapped around the ankle to hold the shoes securely in place. Early espadrilles were worn by both men and women.
