Crafting with Conscious Materials 

Materials are crucial to us, which is why every product page includes detailed information about the composition of each handmade shoe. Viscata espadrilles feature canvas made from organic cotton certified and natural jute, representing both quality and eco-consciousness. Our leather details, enhancing comfort, are sourced from Leather Working Group-certified suppliers, ensuring ethical production standards. We minimize plastic usage and focus on initiatives like using recycled PES canvas for patterned espadrilles. With Viscata, you can step confidently, knowing every material is chosen with sustainability in mind.

Spotlight on quality

Authentically Spanish. Ethically Made 

Transparency is one of our core values at Viscata. We ensure complete traceability at every stage of our production process. Our espadrilles (and other footwear) are proudly handmade produced in Spain. Our level 2 suppliers (also based in Spain) adhere to best practices in working conditions and production processes. To maintain this high standard, we personally visit our suppliers on a regular basis, reinforcing our commitment to both transparency and ethical practices.
