Gaia Lace-Up Cotton Platform Espadrilles

What might a summer classic look like after getting the Stella McCartney treatment? Well, something like the Gaia espadrilles we reckon. Recreated through the brand’s playful and sustainable lens, this pair begins with an organic-cotton frame which is secured using logo-adorned laces arranged into a cross-over design. Set above traditional woven jute, you’ll find extra drama (and height) in the synthetic platform sole.

• Upper: 100% organic-cotton Lining: 64% polyurethane, 36% viscose Sole: 60% eva, 40% jute

Stella is a girl’s girl, visible in designs that embrace femininity from a variety of different and subtle angles. The always-cool and famously-vegetarian brand uses biodegradable fabrics and no fur or leather, setting design and animal welfare on an equal footing, with unshakeable standards for both.
