Marta Sánchez has been spending her final days of summer in Marbella wearing a pair of Spanish-made Castañer espadrilles, the same style of footwear that has also become a favorite of Queen Letizia this season. The singer paired the shoes with a bohemian crochet dress as she wound down the last weekend of August.
Espadrilles have become the shoe of the summer year after year, turning up in the luggage of Eugenia Martínez de Irujo, Tana Rivera and members of the Spanish Royal Family, including Letizia, Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía, who were recently seen wearing them in Mallorca.
Castañer's celebrity and royal following
The espadrilles Marta Sánchez wore in Marbella come from Castañer, a Spanish brand considered a leader in this style of footwear. Castañer has become a wardrobe staple not only for celebrities and influencers but also for the Spanish Royal Family, with Letizia, Leonor, Sofía and Infanta Elena all known to wear the brand thanks to its wide range of designs that hold up regardless of passing trends.
Sánchez's pair, made from natural materials, was styled with a crochet dress, though the brand's espadrilles work just as well with straight-leg jeans, long skirts, flowing blouses or denim jumpsuits, making them a versatile option as the weather begins to turn.
The discounted espadrilles now cost 232 euros
The Castañer espadrilles Marta Sánchez wore are currently available with a 20% discount. They previously retailed for 290 euros and are now priced at 232 euros.
According to the brand's website, the style is called the Carly model, made from braided raffia with matching lace-up fastening, a padded insole and an 8-centimetre wedge heel finished in matching fabric. Where neutral cotton or linen designs are more common, this pair stands out for its natural fibre and classic design, which the brand says will not go out of style.
The wedge, while relatively high, is not uncomfortable or tiring to walk in, making it a practical choice for city streets, a final summer trip, or the office.
A crochet dress paired with a Loewe raffia bag
Marta Sánchez matched the espadrilles with a crochet dress for the last days of summer, the kind of piece that works equally well for going from the beach to a beachside bar without a stop at home. The look followed a white crochet dress by SlowLove she wore earlier in the weekend, this time swapped for a bohemian style featuring a neon color palette that immediately enhances a tan.
The dress itself is a shirt-style crochet piece in white with fuchsia and orange zigzag detailing, a V-neck and a straight silhouette that falls above the ankles. It fastens at the front with subtle buttons and sits gently against the body.
Because the crochet fabric is sheer, Sánchez layered a simple pink underdress beneath it, adding a pop of color and a modern touch, an option that also works over a swimsuit or bikini. She completed the outfit with a Loewe raffia bag worth more than 1,000 euros, understated jewelry and large beige-framed sunglasses.
