Workshop-boutique Don Quichosse, suggesting a guided tour to discover the steps of manufacturing 100% natural shoes
Timothée Cangrand, a true enthusiast, remains one of the few craftsmen still working in Mauléon, THE pioneer town for espadrilles. Each shoe is made from 100% natural materials: cotton for the canvas, jute for the sole, rubber from rubberwood. A guided tour explains every stage of production! Classic plain, striped, wedge, summer and winter collections (including espadrille slippers): it's impossible not to find an espadrille to suit your feet!

Owner's Message
THE WORKSHOP DON QUICHOSSE A MAULEON LICHARRE
It is in the bastion of the espadrille, in Mauléon Licharre, that Don Quichosse makes his espadrilles in the purest tradition, from the models of our ancestors (those still worn in the Basque Country) to those that are still up to date.
The workshop also serves as a factory shop, a museum workshop where you will feel the weight of the years. It is a lively place where we will share with you our passion, our love of work well done, in the midst of machines that are more than a hundred years old.
Don Quichosse is also a shop-museum in Ossés, in the village of craftsmen near Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port. This small museum, free of charge, will tell you the history of the espadrille through time.
