The Hands Behind Every Pair: Handcrafted Avarcas Made to be Worn

There’s something pretty special about knowing that there are real hands behind every pair of Palmaira Sandals. There is a story behind each one.

Every pair of Palmairas is handmade on the tiny Spanish island of Menorca, where they have been handcrafting the traditional Menorcan sandal – the Avarca for many generations.

We believe it’s worth celebrating that our sandals are made by skilled artisans who use traditional techniques passed down through generations. These sandals truly are made with care, detail and a whole lot of heart.

Palmairas aren’t just a beautiful pair of sandals, there is so much more behind every pair.

For us, it starts with how they are actually made.

Each pair passes through the hands of skilled makers, from selecting and working with premium leathers, cutting, shaping, stitching and finishing. There is a pair of hands behind every step of the process.

This is not mass production, this is slow fashion with thought, care and craftsmanship that comes from generations of experience.

And that’s something we believe you can feel when you step into a pair of Palmairas.

Palmairas are designed to me worn, lived in and loved as the leather softens and moulds to your feet. The styles are timeless and designed to be worn season after season.

When you choose a pair of Palmairas, you are supporting something much bigger than a pair of sandals. You are supporting small family businesses here in Australia and in Menorca.

You are supporting traditional skills and craftsmanship, the people whose hands and experience go into making every pair.

These aren’t just any sandal.

These are Palmaira Sandals.

Much Love
