Make Your Own Espadrilles | HANDMADE® The Brand

Starting from $129

Take a step into the world of traditional craftsmanship and leave with more than just a memory - leave with something you made yourself.

What can you expect?

Step into the role of an artisan and create your own pair of authentic espadrilles, inspired by a traditional Mediterranean craft that has been part of culture for centuries. Guided by skilled hosts, you'll explore the story behind this iconic shoe - from its humble origins to its place in modern fashion - before choosing from a wide selection of styles, colors, and sizes. Once your materials are selected, you'll stitch and design your own pair in a fun, interactive setting filled with music, creativity, and shared moments. At the end of the session, you leave with a handcrafted pair of espadrilles that is truly your own - and a lasting memory of Curacao.

The workshop takes place at HANDMADE® store on Heerenstraat 13, in the heart of Willemstad's vibrant Punda district.

Join HANDMADE® and turn a moment in Curacao into something you can wear forever. Book your workshop today.
