Classic Avarcas

Avarca Sandals Espadrilles and Wedges
Classic Avarcas

Avarcas are authentic Menorcan Avarca leather sandals. They are comfortable, long-lasting and economical. They are made from authentic natural leather. The Avarca Pons collection ranges from rustic to fashionable styles, with micropore anatomical soles, which fit perfectly offering exceptional comfort.

 

All models preserve the original essence of the Avarcas of Menorca: a shoe dating back over one hundred years, comfortable yet resisilient, which comes from the rural world, and has now been re-invented to become an essential summer product. 

Ethically Sourced
Leather

Avarca Sandals Espadrilles and Wedges are the traditional footwear from the island of Menorca in Spain, that's comfortable, resistant, long-lasting and economical. Made from authentic natural leather, the Avarca Pons leather collection is ethically sourced. We offer Avarca sandals espadrilles and wedges.

Avarcas UK!

It was while on holiday to Menorca, exploring the Ciutadella, that I fell in love with the island and these shoes.

 

​I adored the shoes in the Avarca Pons shop - the colours were so vibrant! Sadly, I found on my return that I couldn't buy them here in the UK. The answer seemed simple: I would  share the love and bring these shoes to UK shoppers.

I truly hope you enjoy our shoe selection, and maybe... just maybe... you will love Avarcas as much as I did the first time I saw them.

With love,

El Consell Insular de Menorca, in collaboration with the Footwear Manufacturers Association of Menorca, has created a guaranteed "Avarca de Menorca" brand to ensure the quality and authenticity of the product,  materials, the manufacturing process and geographical origin.
