The GOODS from Rowan Sky

Vancouver, BC | It’s summer, and that means summery Soludo espadrilles are now in stock at Rowan Sky in a variety of styles and colours…

During the hot New York summer of 2010, Nick Brown found himself searching for the traditional jute-soled espadrilles he had worn as a kid on holidays along the Spanish coast. He knew they’d be a perfect fit for the city lifestyle – stylish for evenings out, comfortable in the sweltering heat and perfect for heading out to the shores of Long Island. Beyond the horror of flip flops on the dirty Manhattan streets (and the sight of too many feet that should not see the light of day) there was the promise that slipping them on would help ease him into a summer state of mind.

Upper: Whether the 100% cotton upper is in traditional colors or contemporary patterns Soludos are a timeless, stylish and comfortable summer essential. Simple and affordable they can be dressed up or down.

Sole: The word espadrille comes from the Spanish word esparto, meaning grass. It is this natural eco-friendly jute sole that creates a shoe that breathes in the summer.
