The publication is used to showing us fashion projects and possibilities that are stimulating for both the eyes and the mind. This is why, when [*It* interviewed Ball Pagès](http://www.itfashion.com/moda/brand-new/las-espardenyas-tejidas-con-sisal-de-ball-pages/) last June and showed interest in our label, [our philosophy and values](https://en.ball-pages.com/pages/ball-pages) as well as our espadrilles, we felt that we were more than fortunate.   ![proceso-fabricación-tradicional-a-mano-alpargatas-ball-pages](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hs-fs/hubfs/proceso-fabricacio%CC%81n-tradicional-a-mano-alpargatas-ball-pages.png?width=635&name=proceso-fabricacio%CC%81n-tradicional-a-mano-alpargatas-ball-pages.png)   In that interview *It* asked us about our little workshop in the town of [Arbúcies](https://en.ball-pages.com/collections/todas-las-colecciones/products/camisetas-souvenir), in the province of Girona (Spain). We told them that there, with a group of ladies, we craft our [Ball Pagès espadrilles](https://en.ball-pages.com/collections/todas-las-colecciones), plaiting the sisal [by hand.](https://en.ball-pages.com/pages/proceso)   ![detalle-atelier-taller-alpargatas-ball-pages-mediterraneas](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hs-fs/hubfs/detalle-atelier-taller-alpargatas-ball-pages-mediterraneas.png?width=607&name=detalle-atelier-taller-alpargatas-ball-pages-mediterraneas.png)   Each pair of **Ball Pagès espadrilles** is unique. This is why, we explain to the magazine, *“Ball Pagès shoes don’t have a left or right foot, you have to give them time to adapt to the foot of each user”*. Sisal, the extremely strong natural material [with which we weave and cover our Ball Pagès](https://en.ball-pages.com/pages/proceso)which you wear, is a natural material but our aim is to *“make it resist the passage of time”.   * ![sisal-material-natural-fabricacion-alpargatas-ball-pages](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hs-fs/hubfs/sisal-material-natural-fabricacion-alpargatas-ball-pages.png?width=600&name=sisal-material-natural-fabricacion-alpargatas-ball-pages.png)   [**Ball Pagès espadrilles**](https://en.ball-pages.com/collections/todas-las-colecciones) have reclaimed the Ibizan ancestral techniques. There, Gemma Serra learnt how to make [the traditional Ibizan sandals from this Mediterranean island](https://blog.ball-pages.com/en/mediterranean-products-which-combine-aesthetics-and-ethics). Starting from there, she started to make modifications. The objective? *“Take them away from their Ibizan context* \[…\] *and bring them into the city, giving them new, timeless, elegant breath”. * *![IMG_0200](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hs-fs/hubfs/social-suggested-images/IMG_0200.jpg?width=1000&name=IMG_0200.jpg)*   Compartir [Piular](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://blog.ball-pages.com/en/it-magazine-is-interested-in-the-ball-pages-project&text=It%20Magazine%20is%20interested%20in%20the%20Ball%20Pagès%20project) Fer un Pin [PreviousVogue visits us in our workshop](https://blog.ball-pages.com/en/vogue-visits-us-in-our-atelier) [Next Ball Pagès espadrilles Roam the world](https://blog.ball-pages.com/en/ball-pages-espadrilles-roam-the-world) - TOT - ATELIER - ESPADRILLES - INFLUENCE - INSPIRATION - NEWS - PRESS ### [![ The best espadrilles for your guests](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hs-fs/hubfs/clara-1.png?width=720&name=clara-1.png) The best espadrilles for your guests](https://blog.ball-pages.com/en/the-best-espadrilles-for-your-guests) ### [![ Sustainable fashion; reality or just a passing fad?](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hs-fs/hubfs/moda%20o%20realidad-Rita.png?width=720&name=moda%20o%20realidad-Rita.png) Sustainable fashion; reality or just a passing fad?](https://blog.ball-pages.com/en/sustainable-fashion-reality-or-just-a-passing-fad) ### [![ The most fashionable Mediterranean style for this 2021](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hs-fs/hubfs/collage.png?width=720&name=collage.png) The most fashionable Mediterranean style for this 2021](https://blog.ball-pages.com/en/the-most-fashionable-mediterranean-style-for-this-2021) ### [![ How fast fashion affects the environment](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hs-fs/hubfs/fast-fashion-1.jpg?width=720&name=fast-fashion-1.jpg) How fast fashion affects the environment](https://blog.ball-pages.com/en/how-fast-fashion-affects-the-environment) ### [![ Sustainable fashion, every day more present among women](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hs-fs/hubfs/sustainability.png?width=720&name=sustainability.png) Sustainable fashion, every day more present among women](https://blog.ball-pages.com/en/sustainable-fashion-every-day-more-present-among-women) ### [![ Creative process at Ball Pagès](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hs-fs/hubfs/proces.png?width=720&name=proces.png) Creative process at Ball Pagès](https://blog.ball-pages.com/en/creative-process-at-ball-pages) ### [![ Tell your story through your footwear](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hs-fs/hubfs/clara%20sabates%202.png?width=720&name=clara%20sabates%202.png) Tell your story through your footwear](https://blog.ball-pages.com/en/tell-your-story-through-your-footwear) ### [![ Ball Pagès, the espadrilles from Ibiza and Formentera](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Espadrille%20Doble%20Recte%20Ball%20Pages.jpg?width=720&name=Espadrille%20Doble%20Recte%20Ball%20Pages.jpg) Ball Pagès, the espadrilles from Ibiza and Formentera](https://blog.ball-pages.com/en/ball-pagès-the-espadrilles-from-ibiza-and-formentera) - [Contact us](https://en.ball-pages.com/pages/contact) - [FAQs](https://en.ball-pages.com/pages/faqs-en) - [Repair & Maintenance](https://en.ball-pages.com/pages/repair-maintenance) - [Legal warning](https://ball-pages.com/policies/terms-of-service) - [Privacy Policy](https://ball-pages.com/policies/privacy-policy) - [Sales Conditions](https://ball-pages.com/policies/shipping-policy) - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/ballpages/) - [Pinterest](https://www.pinterest.es/ballpages/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/ballpages/) © 2019, Ball Pagès [![Visa](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Ball_Pages_SL_February2019/Images/visa.png?width=73&height=44&name=visa.png)](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hubfs/Ball_Pages_SL_February2019/Images/visa.png) [![MasterCard](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Ball_Pages_SL_February2019/Images/mastercard.png?width=73&height=44&name=mastercard.png)](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hubfs/Ball_Pages_SL_February2019/Images/mastercard.png) [![Amex](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Ball_Pages_SL_February2019/Images/amex.png?width=73&height=44&name=amex.png)](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hubfs/Ball_Pages_SL_February2019/Images/amex.png) [![Paypal](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Ball_Pages_SL_February2019/Images/paypa.png?width=73&height=44&name=paypa.png)](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hubfs/Ball_Pages_SL_February2019/Images/paypa.png) [![Shopify](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Ball_Pages_SL_February2019/Images/shopify.png?width=73&height=44&name=shopify.png)](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hubfs/Ball_Pages_SL_February2019/Images/shopify.png) [![Apple Pay](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Ball_Pages_SL_February2019/Images/apple_pay_1170221.png?width=73&height=45&name=apple_pay_1170221.png)](https://blog.ball-pages.com/hubfs/Ball_Pages_SL_February2019/Images/apple_pay_1170221.png) English Español Català Français
