Step into fresh new style with a pair of customised espadrille flats. These on-trend flat espadrille shoes put a contemporary spin on a fashion classic. Handmade at the Contrado studio, a jute and rubber sole is bonded with our beautiful linen look canvas fabric to create a shoe that you can customise to your personal style. Choose from two different colour finishes, three insole options including vegan options, upload your designs and slip your feet into a new way to express yourself this summer.
Create artwork for your feet and design your own pair of espadrille flats. You can now make a fashion statement as you strut down the street thanks to our bespoke online design system. Upload your artwork, designs, illustrations or photography all over the upper of your stylish new shoes. The canvas body is a dream for showing off colours and fine details, and is strong and hardy enough to be worn every day. Our linen look canvas has a natural linen look with a unique slub weave. Choose from a black or white finish to complete the look of your shoe. These determine the colour of the binding, eyelets and tape of the espadrilles. Your espadrilles have a cool cotton inner that is both breathable and moisture-wicking, making them the perfect summer shoe.
We understand that your personal style is important to you. That is why we offer complete customisation of all of our handmade products. Our skilled teams of designers, crafters, technicians, printers, and seamstresses all work together to ensure your espadrilles reflect not only your style, but are also flawlessly crafted and finished. Choose one of three inner sole options. The Porcine leather insole is hard-wearing and tough. The natural jute base option of your new flat espadrille shoes is made in Spain, and makes them completely vegan friendly espadrilles. You can opt to have this eco-friendly jute line your shoes, or have printed fabric instead. The jute is a naturally durable and hard-wearing material that will give your shoes longevity and a gorgeous rustic finish. Please note, if you opt for the printed sole, the print will fade a little over time due to abrasion.
Style It With
You will love taking to the streets, the beach, or the shops with these stylish flat espadrille shoes. Not only are they super comfortable, but they are custom printed with your designs. The classic espadrille is a shoe that never goes out of fashion, but being able to print them with your artwork takes their style to the next level. A timeless summer staple, you can rock your espadrilles with a whole host of gorgeous looks, whether you are a girl or a guy. For guys, slip yours on with a pair of tailored shorts and a slim fitting t-shirt. Add a fedora and a pair of sunglasses to complete the look. For girls, we love seeing the espadrilles worn with a fun and flippy summer dress. Add a denim jacket in the evenings and don't forget your straw bag.
Care instruction
Surface wipe only. Clean gently by hand with mild soapy damp cloth.
Your new shoes are made from a hybrid of sustainability and longevity. We use our man made linen look canvas to create the body of your espadrilles. This durable fabric has the natural appearance of linen, with the strength and hard-wearing attributes of a synthetic. The inner is made from breathable and moisture-wicking cotton, thus combining the best of both worlds.
What parts of the espadrille flats can I customise?
You have the ability to customise several areas of your funky new espadrilles. First, select the colour option; black or white. The black option includes black binding and tape. The lining of the shoe will still be natural. The white option includes white binding and natural lining and tape. You can then print your designs onto the whole upper of the shoe - this is one piece of fabric. You also have the option of printing the lining.
Are these shoes suitable for men and women?
Yes they are. At Contrado, we love designing clothing for everyone and anyone. As such, some of our styles are unisex. These flat espadrille shoes are no exception. They are available in a wide range of sizes, 35 - 44, so will suit a wide range of feet. Whatever your style and fashion choices are, make them your own by taking the design into your own hands.

We print at 200dpi, which is a good combination of quality and file weight. Ideally your image should be scaled to 100% at 200dpi; this means that no resizing of your file occurs, preventing any interpolation. Our design interface will have a quality marker next to the design that you have uploaded, this will change colour using a traffic light system and display a message. The message will let you know if the resolution is too low or if you have a good quality image.
How will my image scale?
When you upload your design our system will automatically scale it to fit your chosen fabric dimensions. In the ‘Product Image’ tab, the displayed dimensions under ‘Print Size’ will show the dimensions of the piece of fabric that you are ordering. For image/design dimensions you need to see the ‘Images & Text Tools’ tab. You can see and edit the dimensions of the image under the quality information next to the thumbnail.
Which colour model should I choose? RGB or CMYK?
We advise providing images in the RGB colour space. Specifically using the sRGB image profile, to achieve best colour results. What does this mean? In your editing software choose RGB as the working space, and assign the image profile as sRGB (full name sRGB IEC61966-2.1)
What is gsm?
Grams per square meter (gsm) is the unit of measurement used to measure the weight of a paper or fabric. This measurement uses the weight of one square metre (1000 x 1000mm) as an indication of the weight and thickness of a fabric. We classify fabrics of 10-100gsm as light (fabrics for summer, fine silk), fabrics of 101-249gsm as medium (most fabrics for clothing) and fabrics of more than 250gsm as thick (upholstery and other specialised fabrics).
What is the bleed area?
When creating your product, it is important to make sure that your image is a little wider than the size needed. In printing, the bleed area allows you to obtain a borderless print. We would advise filling the blead areas, maked with a red checkered area, to ensure you don't end up with white edges. You should make sure that you do not put important details within the bleed area as these will quite likely be lost.
What is crocking and why might it occur?
Crocking, which is fading along the creases, often after washing or heavy use, occurs when you digitally print on natural fabrics - more so when dark or dense colours are used. It can be minimised by using a cool hand wash instead of machine washing as the tumbling of the machine is the main cause of this. To avoid entirely, we would advise using a poly fabric.
Why do my colours appear lighter on organic fabrics?
Our organic fabrics do not have any coatings that the non-organic fabrics have. This means the ink absorbs into the fibres, reducing the colour strength slightly (by approx. -40%). For super strong colours we recommend a non-organic natural fabric.
Can you perfectly join two separately printed panels?
We always try to provide the utmost precision in printing and manufacturing. However, due to unavoidable stretching or movement of the fabric at the time of sewing, we can not guarantee a perfect alignment of the pattern on the seams of the garment. Generally we are accurate to 2-3mm, which is sufficient for most reasons but can pose minor problems with patterns or geometric designs.
Should I save my file as a TIFF or JPEG?
For multi-coloured or very detailed files we recommend using a tiff format, but they must be flattened. For simple colours and low detail files, a jpeg is fine.
Is it possible to print your own label?
Most of our clothing is made with a label space. You can print your label and add information about your brand. If you want to sew your own labels, we offer customizable labels of different sizes.
Can I print on both sides of the fabric?
We do not offer printing on both sides of the fabric, as a lot of our fabrics are semi-transparent. As the customer, you can consider the effect of printing on both sides one of our fabrics and contact us, and we will get back to you if it's feasible.
Can I order labels in another fabric? Will you cut them like you do with the normal fabric labels?
At the moment no, our labels are all printed on the same satin fabric. We may introduce more in the future, but for now this is the best choice. The labels are all cut the same way. You can order the fabric of your choice and make the labels yourself, but we do not cut different fabric into label format.
How is your fabric printing eco-friendly?
With environmental consciousness in mind, our fabrics are all printed using completely water-based inks. This means no chemicals or solvents are used. Our heat fixing procedure fixes the colours and prints, avoiding the downsides of steaming, such as excess or contaminated water returning into the waste system. We have one facility in London where we conduct all the printing, production and fulfillment.
Why are there slight colour differences between my orders?
We work at improving our colour profiles all the time. Though rare it may happen that from one print run to another, and there could be slight colour differences, this is normal and part of the process when we are constantly improving. It is extremely unlikely that there will be a huge difference (like orange instead of red for example). Please bear in mind such colour variations can be intensified from fabric to fabric due to the varying grains and textures of the fabric; natural fabrics tend to have more muted colours than their poly alternatives. This is due to the construction of the materials as well as the print methods that have to be altered slightly for more delicate, natural textiles.
Please note: As everything we provide is handmade to order, you may find a slight variance in the sizes.
