ABOUT US ✷
PREMIUM HANDMADE ESPADRILLES
Mother and daughter unique designs
Michel Marbella is the premier local, independent Espadrilles brand in Marbella, Spain.
Family-owned and founded by two designers, Karina, and her daughter, Victoria , our journey began over 20 years ago.
Michel Marbella, Old Town Store
Having found a gap in Marbella, the demand grew so fast that in 2015 Michel Marbella established a flagship store right in the heart of Casco Antiguo.
Our collections are inspired by the laid-back Mediterranean lifestyle, mixed with a twist of tradition and heritage. Each collection of high-end, timeless pieces is designed for wearers to make their daily looks sleek yet comfortable.
PREMIUM HANDMADE ESPADRILLES
Michel Marbella drops don’t follow the traditional fashion calendar. Today’s consumers have different needs and the brand has adapted to them, providing fresh new drops every quarter. Our products are sustainably crafted in La Rioja, following all the latest environmental guidance and prioritizing employee welfare. In addition, we love Mother Earth, so our brand constantly reviews its processes to make sure it is contributing to a better future, starting with fully compostable packaging whilst avoiding the use of plastic
My mom and I design each collection together and take pride in our uniqueness, ensuring full control over every stage of the espadrille process. From design to sale, we are deeply involved in every step. We delight in creating espadrilles not only for ourselves but also for our clients, bringing our shared passion to every pair.
Victoria
Over the past 20 years, I’ve cherished creating not only beautiful espadrilles but also lasting memories, friendships, and shared moments through my work. With the invaluable support of my son and daughter, I’ve been able to elevate Michel Marbella to new heights. I’m deeply grateful for the wonderful clients who have become friends along the way, and I look forward to continuing this journey every day.
