The summery sandals loved by the Spanish royal family and reinvented in a trendy style are one of the stars of the Car Shoe summer collection. The ‘Menorcan’ is a sandal with a long history, originally, as the name suggests, from the Spanish island of Menorca, and displaying wonderful craftsmanship, with its elegance stemming from its simplicity and minimalist design.
In Car Shoe’s version the cotton upper is covered in brightly-coloured woven raffia, available in pink, blue or deep yellow, enhanced by the grosgrain edges and ribbon. The strap around the ankle is made of camel-coloured leather. A pink leopard print calf hair version is also available.
The sole, originally made from used truck tyres, has also been reinvented, but without taking away its identity: cut by hand, it is in two layers, with a rubber section that matches the colour of the raffia on the upper.
This is a simple yet extremely elegant sandal, suitable for all occasions, including formal events.
