Michel Marbella Premium Handmade Espadrilles: The Complete Guide to Espadrille Heights Measured in Cords (2025)

If you’re looking for premium handmade espadrilles, elegant women’s espadrilles, or want to understand how Michel Marbella Espadrilles are measured by cords, this is the definitive guide you need.

At Michel Marbella, we follow a unique Mediterranean tradition:
We measure our espadrilles in cords, not centimeters.

This artisanal system has been used for generations in Spain and reflects the authenticity, craftsmanship, and heritage behind every pair of our premium espadrilles.

In this guide, you’ll discover:

• What a “cord” really is

• Why Michel Marbella uses cords instead of centimeters

• Every espadrille height we offer, from flats to 12 cords

• How to choose the perfect wedge height

• Why Michel Marbella espadrilles stand out in the market for premium handmade women’s espadrilles

What Is a Cord in Handmade Espadrilles?

A cord is a traditional unit used to measure handmade espadrille wedges.
Each cord is one full braid of natural jute, stitched by artisans layer by layer.

Why “cords” instead of centimeters?

• Jute thickness varies naturally

• Handmade wedges don’t follow exact millimeter measurements

• Cords give a more accurate measurement in artisanal production

• It preserves the heritage of authentic Spanish espadrilles

This is why Michel Marbella premium handmade espadrilles stay true to their origins.
