COTE AND BADT

Established by two Spanish friends who have been living in Asia for more than a decade, Cote and Badt offers an exclusive range of handmade, top-quality espadrilles from two renowned Spanish ateliers: Casa Hernanz, a 170-year-old family business employing fifth-generation artisans; and Giamo, whose footwear exhibits a more modern sensibility (I love the embroidered toe strap on the Susan D espadrille pictured here). Combining casual elegance with all-day comfort, these are my go-to shoes for a weekend out or for parties.
