From Kate Middleton to Maxima of the Netherlands, This Shoe Is a Royal Favorite
While summer may seem a bit far off, the warmer days are already upon us! It’s finally time to sport those shoes that celebrities can’t get enough of. Beloved by royalty, these shoes have a unique history. Dating back to the 13th century—or even as far as 4,000 years ago according to some sources—they originate from Spain and the Basque Country; a fact that Letizia of Spain can certainly take pride in!
Originally, these shoes were worn by the infantrymen of the King of Aragon. Centuries later, they became fashionable and were reimagined by Yves Saint Laurent as heeled sandals in the 1960s. A few years afterward, in 2011, Karl Lagerfeld designed a pair for Chanel that would become iconic.
Today, numerous celebrities don these shoes with the arrival of spring. Their rope soles provide elegance and a leg-lengthening effect—perfect for when dresses and skirts come back into rotation! They have stood the test of time. Once adored by Marilyn Monroe, they are now a staple for stars and royalty alike! Kate Middleton, Maxima of the Netherlands, Mathilde of Belgium… everyone owns a pair.

The beauty of espadrilles lies in their versatility. No matter the style you’re aiming for, you can’t go wrong with a pair of espadrilles—they’re always in fashion!
