Gift your mom the experience she will not forget!
The perfect Mother’s Day gift for 2021 is only a few paragraphs away from you. Read on to see how happy your mother will be after receiving this unique gift from you.
Our success was featured by
BuzzFeed and The Washington Post report: The Espadrilles Experience is considered not only one of the most unique online experiences in the world, but a perfect, new kind of gift for special occasions.
Can you imagine an online experience that is more unique?
Here, at our small workshop in Barcelona, we decided to combine all the benefits that such an online experience could bring you, with all the extra perks offered by an on-site, physical, experience.
At The Espadrilles Experience the participants learn EVERYTHING about the history and origins of the most traditional Spanish shoes. But we thought: this is not enough! That’s why each and every one gets to customize a pair of Espadrilles of their own liking, which we ship to their home, ALL INCLUDED!
This is the only online experience that combines the virtual with the physical world. The only place where the participants receive the product they learned about at home.
Imagine what a surprise could it be for your mother. On Mother’s Day, she will tune in with us for 90 minutes, where she will learn valuable information about a different culture, and in a week or so, she will receive a pair of shoes at home. More exactly, a pair of Espadrilles that was fully customized by her. Check out all the customization options here.
Think about this! Your mom has no idea that such an experience is even possible. The level of surprise will be unimaginable. But let’s not stop here. Every time she is going to wear her custom-made shoes, she will remember you. What’s more, she won’t be able to resist telling all her friends about this amazing gift that you gave her.
What makes The Espadrilles Experience great?
Our experience is not only about getting together online with people from all around world, having fun and learning about a different culture. It’s by far the best experience of all, as it includes a pair of shoes! Can’t beat that! Here you will design the espadrilles of your dreams, we will make them LIVE and then ship them to you, all included! It is the only experience where you receive your creation at home. Without having to pay an extra fee.
The online workshop was born by combining the new concept (online experience) with the old one (physical product). At the end of the day, you are going to receive a pair of shoes designed by you. A pair of shoes you know everything about: how it started as a workers’ shoe and ended up being an international fashion statement.
