About Diegos

Diegos is a family business that brings traditional Spanish espadrilles from La Rioja, in northern Spain, where every pair is sewn by hand. Diego Arnedo has worked with these espadrilles for twenty years, and a Discovery Channel documentary shows them being entirely hand stitched in his grandfather's village.

Diego also teaches the traditional hand stitching of espadrilles at universities and colleges in Quebec and Ontario.
