Sea People 

Sea People offers handcrafted but haute-couture espadrilles for evening wear and everyday wear. Made in Spain by real craftsmen. Determination pays off. Enrique Camps had had enough of seeing espadrilles - this typically Spanish product - get lost in the maze of consumerism. Mass production in faraway countries, drifting quality, exploitation of manufacturers and, finally, a lack of respect for customers..

After years of designing for others, one day in 2006 he opened his own boutique in El Born - next to the Picasso Museum - to pursue his passion. Oscar H. Grand makes all his customers' clothes to measure himself...
