Respoke

rs of designer scarf collecting, he came up with the idea to repurpose his iconic scarves into beautiful espadrilles. After partnering with artist, graphic designer, and branding expert Chris Bartick, they managed to find the very best team of multigenerational craftspeople in Spain, also known as the birthplace of espadrilles. Their initial launch was very well received because people learned that every pair is handcrafted and every pair is one-of-a-kind. The positive response to the classic espadrilles led our team to develop additional product categories that could be “respoked” with iconic designer silk. All Respoke products are unique because they are produced from different sections of the scarf. Each piece carries more value and self-identity than their original form. In the Respoke arena, the whole is exponentially greater than the sum of its parts.
