Castañer is the name of a family whose work, dedication and view of future has named a great brand.

Castañer´s origin dates back to the year 1776 when the first espadrille maker of the family , Rafael Castañer, was born. The present company , which is the evolution from an initial, small workshop, was founded in 1927 by Luis Castañer and his cousin Tomás Serra. The company lived through many ups and downs including the Spanish Civil War in 1936, when it was nationalized because its product was deemed to be of military interest, since soldiers were sent off to battle wearing espadrilles.

The mission of the Donna Karan Company, as a design driven company, is to represent the international pulse of New York in the design, marketing and delivery of a complete lifestyle system to a global customer. We will apply the highest standards of creativity, integrity, quality and innovation to our products and concepts.
