Espadrilles For Women Online In Singapore
Espadrilles might just have taken over from the slipper as the must-have flat shoe this season. Casual footwear options are aplenty, but the espadrilles are having a fashion moment now as designers like Michael Kors, Diane von Furstenberg and Michael Atwood get a leg up on the trend.
Espadrilles for women are normally casual flat shoes originating from the Pyrenees, the border between France and Spain. They usually have a canvas or cotton fabric upper and a flexible sole made of rope or rubber material. Once peasant footwear, they gradually grew in popularity in Europe, as men and women wear them during the spring and summer months. They later found mass appeal in America in the 1940s, when Lauren Bacall's character in the 1948 movie Key Largo wore ankle-laced espadrilles. These days, designer espadrilles are widely available and are usually manufactured in Spain and South Asia.
