Shop
Small
We love supporting small businesses, and nowadays with e-commerce this is easier than ever, from clothing and jewellery to candles.
Shoes are a different story, as most of the options out there are big brands.
We provide you with an option to shop for your classic handmade leather sandals espadrilles and wedges with a more sustainable approach.

15 Families
Every purchase you make is supporting the Pons family and the families of the 13 people working in the Pons workshop.
You're also supporting our UK family that brings your Avarcas to the UK. We reinvest the money to bring more models to you the following year.

All of our leather suppliers only work with cows raised in Spain that haven't been sacrificed due to their leather but due to meat consumption. All of our leather follows EU Directives 2002/61/CE, 94/27/CE, 2002/231/CE, 2002/251/CE and 2002/45/CE.

We know, a few of us have an obsession for shoes (and other things... I personally struggle with jewellery!
Avarcas offer you a timeless model that will last years. You do not need to change your wardrobe constantly to fit the latest trend this season. You can wear the same pair of shoes to a restaurant, office and supermarket.
