Sustainability is a journey

But it starts with a single step.

With the worldā€™s largest online collection of handmade espadrilles, weā€™ve stitched comfort, quality and love into every pair.

Slow Fashion.
Spanish Style.

In life, every step you take is a decision. We work with nature every day. We know that sustainabilityā€™s a journey that weā€™re only just beginning. But the best things in life take time. From premium jute to the 100% organic cotton canvas that keeps them breathable and dry, our shoes are inspired by the natural world.

We are an ethical retailer and every pair of our eco-friendly shoes is individually hand made by artisans, many of whom we know by name. And that means every pair is unique. We know that life is imperfect, like our shoes. This is what makes them so beautiful. We call it character.

Step out sustainably with Viscata.

Handmade with love.

Spotlight on quality

Handmade in Spain

Our premium eco-friendly shoes are exclusively handmade in Spain, using artisanal methods and local sourcing where possible.

By operating and manufacturing in the same country, we have better control of our processes ensuring ethical, local production at every stage.

We know that beautiful things take time, so we donā€™t rush our eco-friendly shoes. Our artisan approach cannot be hurried, from braiding the jute by hand to stitching, assembling the sole and attaching it to the upper. Slow fashion is the way ahead. 

Naturally.

Transparency

We have nothing to hide

We believe in sustainable fashion and Viscata shoes are made from nature using the highest quality sustainable materials. Everything we do, we do in partnership with our suppliers. This is how we ensure honesty, respect and shared values.

We also think itā€™s important that you get to see what weā€™re up to at every step of the way. So, weā€™ve partnered with the folks at Product DNA, to track our product journey from source to shop. Check out our story at every stage of the journey here.

We believe in second chances.
