About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- E3376FSrebeccac0 contributionsFabulous activity!We had a fabulous time doing this activity and went home with lovely headbands to wear to our flamenco dancing dinner that night, which we got many compliments for! The ladies were great fun, we were greeted with music, dancing, sparkling wine, and snacks and were provided the right mix of autonomy and help to make our creations. My husband even came along and enjoyed the process, donating his headband to another lady on our tour. Highly recommend this activity!Written 27 September 2024

The best part, other than being with my peers and having a great time, was Luis and Kathe! The two of them together helping you build your custom shoes was such a fun time.
I loved hearing the history of the shoes and the shoemaking process. I would recommend this experience to anyone, especially for a company team-building event.
It was virtual, but certainly didn't feel that way!

Handmade Barcelona did an amazing job of educating and creating our own personalized espadrilles, all while setting the tone of a fun and energetic environment. They are also very good at answering questions by emails in a very timely manner. I recommend them 100%!

COVID quarentine was really wearing on my mom and I. I discovered Handmade Barcelona's remote workshops and knew it would be just the ticket. Luis was super responsive and clear in his email communications. We were quickly scheduled for our workshop via Zoom. We arranged for a private class but they do group classes as well.
Luis and Kathe arrived on time and began our adventures in the wonderful world of espadrilles. They gave us a history of the shoe and some pop culture added in. Then they introduced the materials and the choices we had for our own designs. While mom and I had a good idea of what we wanted, Luis and Kathe were great in giving us feedback about our choices so we'd be sure our new shoes would be well received. While Kathe demonstrated the stitching on one of our shoes, we had a great time chatting and getting to know she and Luis on a more personal level. They're truly lovely people. So warm, kind, and witty.
When Kathe was done with that demo, she and Luis did a second demonstration on how to tie our new shoes in several different ways. They also gave us a look at their shop and what we might expect when... yes when we return to Barcelona for an in person visit and reunion with Luis and Kathe. To be honest, when the Zoom meeting ended, mom and I felt like we already missed our new- found friends.
Big thanks to Luis and Kathe for the wonderful experience. We are looking forward to the arrival of our shoes in the next week or so. (Of course the shipping was included in the cost of our amazing experience.)

I had come to try to find a souvenir of Barcelona in this shop and I left with two magnificent pairs of handmade shoes. The staff is very welcoming and attentive. They will be there to advise you, and will put you at ease from the first impression. Their models are original and of great quality, I highly recommend this brand and are very endearing personal!!

This was an amazing experience - interesting, informative, and super fun! Luis and Kathe were so friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable. They made us feel really welcome, used our names, interacted with us, and joked around. They shared so much about the history, language, and fabrication of espadrilles in such a way that made learning an absolute blast! Even without the actual espadrilles we will receive, this experience is well worth it. :) I highly recommend it and encourage everyone to give it a try!!!

My wife and I wanted to do something different and we booked this workshop. We had a wonderful time, we learnt and laughed a lot. Almost halfway of the workshop we enjoyed a snack courtesy of the managers, they were very kind with us and the rest of the group. We absolutely recommend this experience to make a totally different thing that you've done before.

This espadrille making class was the perfect way to experience the culture of Sevilla and make a beautiful piece of art. The artisans at this store teach about the origins of this simple footwear and its varied forms across Spain. Then they guide you on each step of placing the ribbons. Our instructor was knowledgeable and so personable. Each of the artisans we met were really welcoming and we enjoyed every minute of our hour long class. My espadrilles are gorgeous. It was a truly enjoyable experience I will always remember with a warm heart. Thank you to our young lady Jos who made our last day in Sevilla so lovely. I highly recommend this store and class.

Wow, wow, wow! These folks understand good service! While we had our hearts set on making our own Espadrilles classes weren’t offers during Seville’s Féria. Via email, which they were unbelievably responsive too, we visited the store and had custom sandals made. Alexandra was expecting us and we received a welcome which included bell ringing. Had we known how excited they would be to see us we certainly would have recorded our greeting ☺️. The custom Espadrilles are gorgeous!

So much fun. Excellent guidance with just the right amount of help. And the espadrilles are completely wearable! The price of the workshop doesn't include upgrades, which you will very likely want (e.g., cushy soles, higher heels, different base styles).

My boyfriend and I love the handmade shoes from Luis and his team. They have the best quality and super soft leather. Specially the shoes for men we buy almost every year. My boyfriend is so obsessed with the quality that he extra drives to barcelona to get a pair each year. They have super fancy colors like navy, sand and camel brown as you can see in the pictures.
Luis is super cool and really does everything for his customers. I never have experienced such a Great Service in any other shop around the world. You can feel the heart and passion he and his team put into the business and I clearly can differentiate a family business like Luis‘s from all the other cash grabbing franchises. We love to support local businesses and people and I can highly recommend the shoes.
And there is even more. Handmade barcelona is not only a shoe - it is an experience. They offer Workshop for groups, individuals or families where you can create and make your own shoes. Super cool.
Do not miss this great experience and find more information on the webpage and Instagram.
Thanks to Luis and his team we will come back everytime when we visit Spain. Cheers Michelle and Kilian.

I have no idea about making shoes, will I be able to do it or will it take several lessons?
