Founded on the French Riviera in 2010 by Damien Calamuso, CALA 1789 began by reimagining the traditional espadrille, breathing new life into the classic summer shoe. The brand quickly became synonymous with a relaxed, beach-chic style, handcrafting its signature espadrilles in a historic workshop in Mauléon, France. This commitment to French artisanal tradition and quality laid the foundation for its expansion into a complete men's wardrobe.
