Store Manager: Alohas

Back in 2015, ALOHAS was founded in Hawaii to put a twist on espadrilles - the quintessential Spanish summer shoe. Since then, we have taken a break from the heat to develop fall/winter collections too, as well as clothing and accessories. Step by step, our style has evolved to incorporate both trendy silhouettes and timeless icons with a focus on sustainability. Proudly Spanish since birth, our shoes are designed in Barcelona and meticulously crafted by local artisans. Drawing on timeless trends that can last a lifetime, each design is a testament to our commitment to both style and innovation–all while maintaining an avant-garde spirit.
