About this activity
Curaçao's #1 Espadrilles Experience!
Explore the history of the traditional Espadrilles, stitch your own pair and take it home as the most amazing souvenir.
This experience was reviewed as a once-in-a-lifetime by more than 10,000 guests. Awarded Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice in 2021 & 2023. Featured by BuzzFeed, The New York Times & many more.
We will meet at our workshop filled with materials, tools and products. This is where you become an insider on the history of this humble people's shoe that evolved into a major fashion trend.
Together with master artisans you will craft your own pair of Espadrilles. Handpicking out of 100k+ different combinations, you will chose the size of the base, the stitching style and the color and type of the laces, you will learn the different ways to lace them up!
At the end, you will feel like a true artisan. You'll get a wearable memory of Curaçao (hardly available to visitors) and a really cool story to tell. Are you ready?
