Navy Blue Canvas Espadrilles with Striped Trim

1970s · 1970s · French

These espadrille sandals feature navy blue cotton canvas uppers with cream and tan striped ribbon trim along the edges. The traditional rope-soled construction uses natural jute braiding for the platform sole, creating the characteristic rustic texture of Mediterranean footwear. Long navy cotton ties wrap around the ankle for secure fastening, extending from the heel counter. The low wedge heel provides modest elevation while maintaining the casual, vacation-appropriate aesthetic. The striped detailing adds a nautical touch typical of 1970s resort fashion, when espadrilles gained popularity beyond their working-class Spanish origins to become fashionable summer footwear among the international jet set.
