Paloma Barcelò, the Spanish brand that has made history in women's footwear

Hand-sewn seams that tell of the pursuit of perfection, raw materials of the highest quality: Paloma Barcelò has, for over sixty years, been a guarantee of the highest level of quality. The Spanish brand produces shoes that are one-of-a-kind and handcrafted down to the last detail, aimed at women who love to follow fashion and who want to stand out by choosing a quality product that is also able to tell their fancy. A Paloma Barcelò shoe can lend character to any outfit while ensuring quality and elegance, which are the core values of the company; the focus? The revival of iconic and local models, such as the classic espadrilles, sandals and the much-loved wedges (the most evergreen shoe there can be).

The sandal by Paloma Barcelò

An essential piece for any summer look, the sandal is the perfect definition of a woman's love for her femininity. Paloma Barcelò, who has made femininity a strong point to emphasise through each of her creations, offers them for every taste: in rope, flat, with high or low heels, coloured, with a strap or bare ankle. Sophisticated lines and shapes combined with a colour palette that makes even the simplest outfit sparkle.

  • Sandals:only materials of the highest quality. The brand offers sandals made of 100% satin, with leather sole and heel, such as the "Ally" sandal, which Paloma Barcelò proposes in shades of satin lime. The soles of the shoes in the new collection are made of leather, which is light, durable and non-slippery; they provide adequate protection from stones or other objects on the ground and the necessary stability for a shoe with a heel. The 100% nappa leather sandals with leather sole and jute heel (such as the "Leonor" model) are also particularly popular: the models are a modern reinterpretation of the classic espadrille, the signature piece of the Paloma Barcelò house; the difference is the ability to be a feminine and sophisticated sandal also thanks to the particular shape of the heel that the brand wanted to give to the shoes of the new collection.
  • Yes to colours: originality and character at every step. The rhinestones on the straps, already in themselves capable of composing an ultra-feminine shoe, give just the right touch to make the sandal perfect for every outfit, even for the summer evening parties ahead. But in perfect boho chic style and in the coolest summer colours, Paloma Barcelò also offers us sandals in mint, grenadine and pink tones.

Feet on the ground, but head in the clouds... for dreaming

Paloma Barcelò also thinks of the woman who, in summer, seeks absolute comfort: still basing itself on the espadrille, particularly loved by the company, the brand offers shoes without heels capable of being elegant and feminine and of being protagonists even when matched with the most minimal outfits. Rubber sole and 100% leather upper for total stability and incomparable comfort: the "Dana" model is the one that most resembles espadrilles, in shape and colour. But Paloma Barcelò also offers low-rise models in shades of fuchsia, yellow and white; more classic looks? Paloma Barcelò proposes the "Samba" model, a sandal in black with a microfibre sole.

The wedge: the unmistakable signature of Paloma Barcelò

A famous fashion invention of the 1940s, they manage to never be vintage: wedges are an evergreen and every year they are becoming more and more of a must-have. For different needs, we find their first creations in ancient Egypt, designed to avoid contact with the shop floor; in Japan, they were placed under the geta (the popular sandals worn by geishas and sumo wrestlers).

Today, there are different models, although each one never betrays the standard strength: with plateau, thicker or thinner and in any material. Some of the wedges designed by Paloma Barcelò, proposed for this new collection, are a true homage to the 1980s, in shape and colour, while others remain true to the Paloma Barcelò style of classic espadrilles.

  • An explosion of colour. 100% leather and leather sole: the wedge proposed by Paloma Barcelò for this summer 2023 is not only comfortable but also trendy and unmistakable. Offered in shades of lime or hazelnut, it is perfect for the woman who does not want to go unnoticed at any time of day. Even more original is the crafted wedge, such as that of the "Ona" model, which offers interlacing and shiny satin plays and comes alive with its colour: bright pink, for explosive femininity.
  • Rope and leather, tradition and originality. With an ankle strap, in the warmest tones, with the most original workmanship... each shoe tells a story, a process, but the rope wedge always recalls the origin from which it comes, the primary inspiration. Combined with the leather sole to guarantee stability and safety when walking, the classic wedge by Paloma Barcelò is a piece for the woman who makes femininity her most distinctive value. For these models, yes to basic colours: white, hazelnut, silver, platinum.

Paloma Barcelò: from Spain to the world

The family business was born in 1960 from an idea of Manuel Barcelò, precisely in Elche (a Spanish municipality located in the Valencian Autonomous Community). A brand that is now world-famous and which, through the use of high quality materials and original, unprecedented workmanship, offers footwear that is always a novelty. Paloma Barcelò is able to combine the brand's desire to remain anchored in tradition with the desire to offer modern, fashionable shoes: this is why the brand has put the importance of labour at the forefront, with which it creates original and unmistakable shoes. The models on offer feature the processing of materials such as jute, raffia and hemp and are always accompanied by an innovative and, on some models, even futuristic design. The meticulous selection of raw materials is the reason for so much success: a Paloma Barcelò shoe is able to last over time and guarantee absolute comfort, guarantees that have led the brand to be chosen by a diverse and vast clientele, who look for a shoe suitable for the most formal occasions as well as for everyday wear, but with the ability to embrace the foot with softness and sophistication.
