Awesome place!

Visited the shop and was blown away by the experience. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, but not in a smarmy sales pushy way. There was actual hand crafting of shoes going on as we shopped and we were interested to see the process. There was lots of selection, I was able to try on many different styles in my size. The beauty of it all is that if you don't like what is in stock, choose what you do like and it is made for you. I was also super impressed with the ease of shipping my purchase home to Canada. The process could not have been easier and so worth the small shipping cost! When the package came to our house, it was nicely wrapped with a handwritten note of thanks which was a nice touch. Highly recommend!
Fun, Hands-On, One of a kind experience

What a lovely way to spend a few hours! My friends and I knew we wanted an experience driven souvenir for our vacation and the friendly staff at Handmade made that happen for us. The ladies made learning something new fun, worked in the history of the process and made sure everyone had a good time. I recommend making your own espardenyes to everyone!
Amazing experience!

This is a must if you’re coming to Barcelona. It’s so interactive and you learn so much about the history of espadrilles! Paola was the best instructor! I had the best time ever

Dynamic duo makes it fun! Learned the history, the various designs, how to strap the ribbon around the leg, and then finally chose our custom shoes!
