Founded in 2020 by former lawyer Beatriz de los Mozos, Flabelus emerged from a personal search for comfortable, elegant flat shoes. The brand's signature product is a unique hybrid, combining the silhouette of traditional Italian furlane slippers with the handcrafted sole and techniques of Spanish espadrilles. Each pair is handmade in Spain by local artisans, reflecting a commitment to preserving heritage craftsmanship. Sustainability is central to the brand, which uses materials like organic cotton, recycled bicycle tires for the soles, and bamboo for the inner linings. The designs are often rendered in vibrant velvets and textiles, with each style named after a character from literature, adding a narrative layer to the collections.
