a new interpretation of the iconic espadrilles, designed together with the historic italian shoes brand manebí. a special thought for those who love free, curious, and dreamy summers.
the weave between see and style.
the iconic slip–on born on the norther spanish coast and weaved by fishermen with the fishing rope laying on fishing boat, has become a timeless shoe model able to feature the summers of everyone, from the youngest generations to the aristocratic chic.
forte_forte introduces the manebì’s espadrilles in four different versions. every detail is the result of an accurate and deep research, which desires to underline the artisanal uniqueness of each iconic model.
the traditional ballerina flat
valencia–inspired, the ballerina flat is customised through a canvas tip showing a sponge-stitched logo. the different models are ankle–tided through ribbons and coloured tassels, weaved voile cotton and habotai silk strings.
double sole slip–on
the double sole slip–on espadrilles are the symbol of the easy chic summer, and they present a coloured and fluo canvas–made upper with a sponge–stitched embroidered logo on the tip and a weaved-rope sole.
thong sandal
the most essential summer shoes enhanced by leather details and two-tone pop coloured rope or by golden reflects able to create a young and contemporary weave.
wedge heel espadrilles
the wedge heel espadrilles let feet move safely thanks to the trimming ribbons meant to be ankle–tided.
the secret is in italy.
designed in italy, the iconic manebi’s espadrilles are hand–made in spain by the artisanal expert tradition. every sole is made of natural rubber and features the typical weaved rope: 100% natural jute resulting from a unique weaving technique. packaging and labels have been completely made of recycled paper.
manebì’s espadrilles are a unique item to bring everywhere, suitable for short trips or long travels, they are an invitation to light–heartedness.
