andre assous

Known as the “King of Espadrilles,” French-born designer Andre Assous founded his namesake brand in the 1970s, single-handedly turning the traditional Spanish shoe into a staple of American fashion. A civil engineer by trade, Assous applied his technical skills to redesign the classic jute-soled shoe for comfort and style, establishing a legacy of quality craftsmanship. For over four decades, the brand has built its identity on authentic espadrilles, which are still hand-sewn by artisans in Spain and Italy using high-quality leathers and natural fibers.
