After the huge success of Breton striped t.shirts we see another French classic make a strong debut – the espadrille! Looking all very chic in a range of the season’s best hues, in stripes, in prints – or for a glam take – in satin – the espadrille is making a strong impact as the ‘must have’ choice for Summer.

Expect more to come!
