Hand-Braided-Then-Woven Raffia
As we do with all of our materials, we sourced this ultra-textural natural raffia from an artisan workshop in Italy that specializes in the technique. We lined it with buttery soft leather for utmost comfort.
Traditional Artisan Construction
The southern coast of Italy—including Positano and Capri—is known for this traditional sandal construction in which artisans weave a sandal’s leather straps through small slots they’ve hand cut in the leather sole. Then, they attach the straps in between the two layers of the sole.
Coastal-Cool Colors
We love the trio of neutral raffia shades Maddie helped us choose. Natural, Light Olive, or Chocolate—each will earn compliments on the New England coast (where Maddie summers), the Italian Riviera, or wherever summer takes you.
