This piece is full of meaning and mystery, inspired by a traditional embroidery from Las Manzanas and Guadalupe communities that evokes the farewell to a friend, symbolizing the respectful and grateful closing of a cycle.
The upper is crafted with a backstrap loom, decorated with black diamond brocade, a unique pattern of unclear origin, passed down through generations. Long black fringes add movement and depth, blending tradition with a contemporary vision.
Adiós amigo is not just a sandal but a tribute to the textile art beauty of Las Manzanas and Guadalupe, and a reminder that deep connections and shared moments, though farewelled, are never forgotten.
