Founded in 1927 by Luis Castañer and Tomàs Serra, Castañer transformed the humble espadrille from utilitarian footwear into a globally recognized fashion staple. With roots in Spanish craftsmanship dating back to 1776, the brand’s pivotal moment came in the 1970s when Lorenzo and Isabel Castañer created the first-ever wedge espadrille for Yves Saint Laurent. This collaboration cemented the brand's place in high fashion, making the jute-soled wedge an enduring symbol of effortless, Mediterranean chic.
