What is the MOQ for jute espadrilles?

It depends on the style and the number of colours and sizes. Footwear buyers often begin with a trial run to validate fit and quality — tell us your plan and we'll advise the workable minimum.

Can the soles be all-jute or jute over rubber?

Both. Traditional rope-wrapped all-jute soles give the classic look, while a jute-wrapped rubber outsole adds grip and longevity. We'll recommend a build for your price point.

Do you offer custom uppers and branding?

Yes — custom colours, prints, embroidery, trims and your branding on the upper. Use AZO-free dyes for EU/UK markets.

What size runs can you produce?

Full EU, UK and US size grids. Share your size curve and we'll quote a standard run across core sizes.

Jute Espadrilles Manufacturing: Sizes, Soles & Minimum Orders

Espadrilles are the gateway product into jute footwear for fashion and lifestyle buyers — instantly recognisable, seasonal, and genuinely sustainable. This guide covers how we make them and what to consider when ordering.

What makes an espadrille "jute"?

The defining feature is the jute-wrapped sole — natural jute rope or braid coiled and pressed into the midsole, then finished with a flexible outsole. The upper can be fabric, canvas, printed or embroidered. The result is lightweight, breathable footwear with a clear eco story.

Styles we manufacture

Our footwear range covers the core espadrille family:

Women's flat espadrille (JDP-042) — the classic.
Wedge espadrille sandal (JDP-043) — a summer staple.
Casual loafer (JDP-044) — unisex, year-round.
Fashion slip-on (JDP-045) — printed and embroidered uppers.

Soles and construction

Soles can be all-jute (rope-wrapped) for the traditional look, or jute-wrapped over a rubber outsole for extra grip and longevity. Tell us the wear and price point you're targeting and we'll recommend the right build.

Sizes and size runs

We produce full EU / UK / US size grids. For a first order, fashion buyers usually commit to a standard run across core sizes; share your size curve and we'll quote accordingly.

Uppers and customisation

This is where brands differentiate: custom colours, prints, embroidery and trims on the upper, plus your branding. Colour means dyes — for EU/UK programmes use AZO-free colourants, as explained in AZO-Free Dyes & REACH Compliance. For logo and print options across products, see custom printed jute bags (the same decoration principles apply).

MOQ and trial orders

Footwear buyers often start with a trial run to validate fit and quality before a full order. MOQ depends on the style and the number of colours and sizes; contact us with your plan and we'll advise the workable minimum.

Lead times

Expect roughly 4–6 weeks of production after sample approval, shipped FOB Chittagong. Seasonal footwear should be booked ahead of the spring/summer window.
