Tags are washable!

Since Tags uses a robust, genuine shoe sole instead of a delicate straw sole, the espadrilles are even washable – by hand or in a cold washing machine cycle. Wash them again and again! This keeps the shoes looking and sparkling clean for a long time.

With our "¡Todo Bien!" guarantee, you can shop with complete peace of mind. Should anything not meet your expectations, we offer a 14-day free return or exchange.

No questions, no hassle – simply return or exchange, and we'll take care of the rest. Your shopping experience should be as carefree and pleasant as a sunny day!

FAQs

How do I find the right size?

The shoes are true to size, but for your peace of mind, you'll find a size chart on each product page. Simply measure your foot length and compare it to the measurements provided. The sole can be about 1 cm longer than the measurements. You can also use the width (measured at the widest point) as a guide.

Why doesn't Tags have a straw sole like classic espadrilles?

The problem with straw soles is that they often don't hold together very well and they don't tolerate moisture well, let alone washing. Tags espadrilles, on the other hand, have a proper shoe sole, with an insole and a rubber outsole, so getting wet is absolutely no problem; they can even be washed in the washing machine!

Why does Tags use polyester fabric instead of cotton?

Polyester is more durable, water-repellent, and quick-drying – ideal for canvas shoes that are meant to last. It's lightweight, easy to care for, and retains colors and prints exceptionally well. Perfect for eye-catching designs and active days in any weather.

Does the fabric stretch over time?

A little, but not too much. The sturdy hems and double fabric mean that the top stretches a bit, but doesn't lose its shape.

Why are some outsoles stitched and others not?

In the workshop, they simply use different methods; some still sew the outsole, and some don't. However, all soles are glued and hold extremely well, regardless of whether they're sewn or not. Will the seam on the outsole come undone over time? Yes, the seam will come undone here and there after a lot of walking, but this isn't a defect or a problem because the outsoles are also glued and will still hold.

Slow Fashion

What do we mean by slow fashion?

Slow fashion is an approach to fashion production and consumption that focuses on sustainability, ethics, and quality. In contrast to "fast fashion," which prioritizes rapid production and frequent product turnover, slow fashion values ​​durable garments and longevity.

Quality over quantity : Slow fashion brands focus on producing high-quality garments that are durable and can be worn for extended periods. Less is more!

Local production : Some slow fashion brands prefer local production to reduce environmental impact and support the local economy.

Less waste : Slow fashion encourages more conscious consumer behavior by buying less and wearing clothes more often and for longer periods.

Handmade & Made-to-Order : Slow fashion is often handmade and produced to order to avoid the use of large machines and factories. The absence of a large warehouse prevents overproduction of outdated models or surplus stock.
