Can’t wait to wear these little bee-auties. Castañer are a world-renowned family run Spanish shoemaker who work with some of the best fashion houses around; Hermes, Louboutin, Saint Laurent, to name only a few.  These caught my eye a few months ago, and I didn’t have to think twice when I spotted them in the Harvey Nichols sale.

Originally £110, they were reduced to £66. What a steal! Espadrilles have to be the ultimate in holiday footwear as they are so versatile, and virtually scream vacation. What drew me to this pair was the wonderful embroidery; bees AND cherries! Although they look like flatties, they have a little height, which I prefer. Sometimes totally flat shoes can be uncomfortable if you switch immediately from heels.

These will be appropriate dressed up or down, with pants or dresses. The espadrilles are well-constructed and the sturdy jute feels firm, yet comfortable. Over the years I have collected a few pairs of wedge espadrilles which only ever get worn on holidays abroad. I will add these to my collection and look forward to wearing them on my travels.
