SLIPPING ON A JOY & MARIO ESPADRILLE IMMEDIATELY SENDS YOU
TO A TIME WHEN FASHION WASN’T AS FAST AND CHEAP
Incubated, Designed, and Crafted in Los Angeles- Joy & Mario is the epitome of Southern California style.
In an effort to create that perfect L.A. shoe- Joy & Mario chose the espadrille and canvas shoes as their staple.
Inspired by the style’s deep history from haute couture to pool side footwear- Joy & Mario felt the versatility of the wedge perfectly represented the balance of Los Angeles.
The vision was to take the iconic espadrille and design it with an L.A. flare that could be worn at any time and in any part of the city. The versatility, designs, and comfort are rivaled by none.
Slipping on a Joy & Mario espadrille immediately sends you to a time when fashion wasn’t as fast and cheap. It reminds you that timeless pieces and staples can still be mixed, and matched and certain shoes can be worn with just about anything.
