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,

I find these sandals very comfortable and stylish, I bought a couple of pairs for myself in the summer, each time I wear them to work I am complemented on them. I also bought a pair for my daughter which she was pleased with. So I decided to buy her the Coral pair for her Christmas present which I am sure she will love. I find these sandals very comfortable and unusual and would recommend them to everyone.
