Founded in Elche, Spain, in 1960 by Manuel Barceló, Paloma Barceló began as a family-run footwear factory with a mastery of handcrafted ropes and plaits. This heritage in traditional Spanish artisanship, particularly in creating espadrilles and rope platforms, defines the brand's identity. Today, led by the founder's son, the brand has evolved its legacy, blending time-honored techniques with a contemporary and often avant-garde design vision. The collections are distinguished by their architectural platforms, sculptural wedges, and meticulous use of natural materials like jute, raffia, cork, and premium leather.
