ManufactureManufacturing process of espadrilles is a bit more complex than other traditional shoes like leather sneakers, moccasins, keds, boots etc. High quality bright golden-white jute exclusively harvested in Bangladesh is the main raw material to make premium quality jute espadrilles. Jute yarn of particular ply and strength is twisted to make braids or ropes with machines and then those braids are laid on a flat board with nails to give shapes of soles of slippers. After this, the soles are pressed and stitched vertically with dedicated stitching machines to be more durable before vulcanized with rubber out-soles with tremendous hydraulic pressure and heat. Canvas uppers of different colors are then hand-stitched to the flat soles to finish the very classic flat espadrilles. Trade Since Bangladesh is the major producer of jute, the main raw material to make espadrilles is now the country that manufactures ninety percent espadrilles of the world. Spanish and French traders are importing millions of pairs of espadrilles from Bangladesh and distributing to other European, North and South American countries for decades. But recently wholesalers and retailers around the world are importing directly from Bangladesh to present the espadrilles at very low price to the end-users. However, it is strongly suggested to import directly from Bangladesh to get the high quality authentic handmade jute espadrilles at its very best price. |
