Espadrilles are a sure sign of summer. The casual woven flat, originated in the Pyrenees, and once considered peasant footwear, can now cost upwards of $500, thanks to a certain french luxury brand. Elyse Walker, the Los Angeles based stylist and designer, has put her own stamp on the espadrille. She not only used clever animal print calf hair and canvas tie-dye materials but she added a thin leather sole below the jute roping. This extends the shelf life of the typically perishable shoe exponentially.
Ed Note: this particular style is mostly sold out on Walker's site, but Warm, in NYC, recently received a new shipment in store.
