…In any case, it’s the wind from the Pampas that blows there! And this since the friendly Marseille brand “Espigas” exhibited its collection of alpargatas which make you feel light and happy.
Noailles' small pop-up store was a success. There is no doubt that “aficionados” will follow her as close to the Old Port as possible!
Why do they work?…
Because they have a unique look!… Alpargatas, let’s see! They are very similar to our traditional espadrilles, except that the alpargata is the shoe of the Argentine gaucho... which he swaps for boots on gala days.
They have the characteristic of having been shaped in a very simple way, a bit like a sheet of paper that is folded...
How did they arrive in Marseille?
As Bérengère explains, following a family road trip which took her, with her husband and children, to the distant lands of the Argentine Pampas. It's hard not to be seduced!
Of course some models are revisited and feature colors little known to gauchos! In addition, the range has expanded and now includes pretty sneakers and other tennis shoes.
The house spirit: we agree!
This is often the case with young family businesses such as Espigas , where ethics are taken into account.
Manufacturing takes place in Marseille and adults with disabilities participate. Sums of money are sent to the NGO Mato Grosso to fight against poverty in Latin America.
If you are staying at the Bellevue hotel, on the Old Port of Marseille, take a look there, Espigas is just a stone’s throw away…
