Strong. Natural. Sustainable.
Jute is one of the oldest and most versatile plant fibers in the world – used for centuries across cultures for everything from textiles to ropes.

At Manebí, we celebrate jute not only for its earthy beauty, but for what it represents: a conscious, essential way of creating fashion that’s deeply rooted in nature.

Its distinctive texture and raw elegance make it the perfect foundation for timeless summer staples. From its low environmental impact to its undeniable charm, jute is more than just a fiber - it’s a lifestyle choice.

From ancient Catalonia to the modern Riviera, espadrilles have walked through centuries of history. Born in 13th-century Spain as humble “espardenyes,” they were made using esparto or jute rope and worn by peasants, soldiers, and craftsmen alike.

When industrial trends swept across Europe in the 1950s, many shoemakers abandoned tradition, but some artisans kept the soul of the espadrille alive, hand-stitching soles and uppers in their homes.

By the 1970s, this once-rural shoe had taken over the fashion scene.
Today, Manebí espadrilles are still crafted with the same care: hand-sewn, rope-soled, and filled with Mediterranean spirit.

More than a shoe, a way of life! At Manebí, jute goes beyond the classic espadrille.
It’s the thread that runs through many of our iconic silhouettes: from effortless mules, to refined sandals, and versatile slip-ons: each piece combining comfort, craftsmanship, and coastal elegance.

Whether you’re walking city streets or exploring seaside villages, our jute-based collection is designed to travel with you – stylishly, sustainably, and always comfortably.
