Viscata Celebrates 15 Years of Mediterranean-Inspired Espadrilles

A Legacy of Timeless Style and Spanish Craftsmanship

Viscata is proud to celebrate 15 years of crafting handmade espadrilles with Mediterranean soul. What began in Barcelona, on the sunny coast of Spain, has grown into a brand loved around the world. Since day one, we’ve stayed true to our roots—blending traditional craftsmanship with fresh, modern style. For over a decade, we’ve been committed to making shoes that feel as good as they look, with quality, comfort, and authenticity at the heart of everything we do.

From Humble Beginnings to Global Recognition

What started in a small office in Barcelona has grown into a globally recognized brand with deep roots in Spanish craftsmanship. For the past 15 years, Viscata has partnered with skilled artisans in La Rioja—a region known for having some of the best shoemaking expertise in Spain. Each pair of espadrilles is handcrafted with care, blending traditional techniques with timeless design. Today, Viscata shoes are worn in over the world, with most of our orders shipped to the USA, where our community continues to grow.

Handmade Quality, Naturally Sustainable

At Viscata, everything begins with quality and craftsmanship. Each pair is carefully handmade by skilled artisans using time-honored techniques and premium materials. We source natural components like jute soles, organic cotton, and Leather Working Group-certified eco-leathers that meet strict environmental standards. While sustainability isn’t a marketing claim, it’s an essential part of how we work—woven into every step of our process. By avoiding mass production, we reduce waste, support ethical labor, and create shoes that are made to last.

Espadrilles for Every Occasion

From beach strolls to city nights, Viscata brings effortless versatility to every step. With over 120 women's espadrille styles—including wedges, flats, sandals, and closed-toe designs—there’s a perfect pair for every occasion. We also offer a growing selection of men’s espadrilles and thoughtfully designed accessories, like scarves, ankle laces, handbags, and shoe protector. Whether you're dressing up for a summer event or keeping it casual and chic, Viscata has you covered in timeless Mediterranean style.

Celebrating Our 15th Anniversary With Style

To mark this special milestone, we're celebrating with the styles that define us—our bestsellers and women's espadrilles collection. These timeless favorites have captured the hearts (and feet) of customers around the world. Handcrafted with love and inspired by the Mediterranean lifestyle, each pair reflects the essence of Viscata: effortless elegance, coastal charm, and enduring comfort.

A Thank You to Loyal Customers

The brand’s success wouldn’t be possible without its loyal fanbase. Viscata thanks every customer who has walked in its shoes; literally. Your support, feedback, and passion have helped shape who we are today. This 15th anniversary is a celebration of you.

Over the years, we've received thousands of reviews that continue to inspire our small team. Here’s what just a few of our happy customers have shared:

“Comfortable and cute I absolutely love how comfortable these shoes are while still being cute. I have several pairs of Viscata shoes and I love them all. They’re very versatile. I take them with me on trips and they hold up pretty well. My feet don’t hurt after walking with them all day. They’re true to size. I’m usually a size 8 and size 8 fits perfectly well. I’ve recommended these shoes to my friends who also love them.” – Michelle W., United States

“This is my 4th pair of espadrilles from Viscata (3rd pair of white ones). I love these shoes! I also bought a pair of wedges.” – Cheryl, United States

“Unbelievably Comfortable – I cannot believe I finally found shoes that look amazing and are extremely comfortable! I have bought espadrilles elsewhere and they end up giving me blisters and/or hurt my feet! These are definitely worth the cost! If you want shoes that transition from casual to dressy with comfort, these are your shoes!” – Deborah B., United States

As we look ahead to the next chapter, we remain dedicated to the same values that brought us here: excellence, craftsmanship, and the spirit of Spanish heritage.
