Les Tropeziennes

Whether you’re looking for footwear to combine with a casual pair of jeans or an elegant skirt, footwear by Les Tropeziennes is sure to suit whatever you’re wearing. As perfect for a wander around town as they are for a leisurely stroll along the beach, there are over 30 different styles of Les Tropeziennes sandals, flip-flops and heels to choose from.

More than just a sandal

Les Tropeziennes are more than just a sandal. Created in St Tropez, Les Tropeziennes are handcrafted from French leather and tanned with oak bark, before being oiled to repel seawater. The coveted stamp on the soles of a pair of Les Tropeziennes is a guarantee of their origin and the craftsmanship that has gone into them. In an age of delocalised production, this stamp gives you the assurance that your footwear has been made handmade using traditional methods.
