Based in Girona, Catalonia, Castañer 1927 traces its roots to a workshop founded in 1927. The company has transformed a popular form of footwear into a refined product closely linked to design and fashion. A historic collaboration with Yves Saint Laurent in the 1970s contributed to the creation of the first wedge espadrille, marking a milestone in fashion footwear. Today, the brand maintains its emphasis on tradition, craftsmanship, and natural materials, while its products have achieved a worldwide reach. It operates in the retail apparel and fashion space for a global customer base, and a notable recent development is a partnership with Yves Saint Laurent in 2022.
