Cala 1789 is a Côte d'Azur brand created in 2010 by Damien Calamuso, in Saint Laurent du Var. This young brand has succeeded in the crazy challenge of dusting off the traditional espadrille, in a casual chic spirit. Under this name, composed of his patronymic and the year of the French Revolution, Damien has laid the foundations of his universe: beach chic made in the French Riviera. For the know-how, he turned to an emblematic workshop in Mauléon in the Pyrenees. Crafted in the purest tradition from cotton canvas, the insole is made from rope, and a vulcanized rubber outsole is added for greater resistance and walking comfort. Finally, the upper is assembled by hand for this 100% made in France product.
