Carolina Core
The Carolina is a feminine espadrille wedge sandal with a signature ruffle-trim toe strap that sets it apart from anything else in the lineup. That frayed, textured detail adds personality and charm without being over the top, making the Carolina a natural fit for everything from beach brunches to summer weddings.
Elastic wrap-around ankle straps keep the sandal secure and provide a flattering fit that moves with you. Inside, a cushioned insole delivers all-day comfort, and the 2 2/3-inch faux espadrille wedge heel gives you a noticeable lift that's still light and easy to walk in. It's one of the taller wedges in the lineup, so you get real height with real comfort.
The Carolina is machine washable, so you don't have to worry about keeping them pristine. Toss them in the wash and they come out looking fresh. Handmade in Mexico, this sandal is available in 15+ colors and finishes, from classic linen and navy ruffle to shimmer options like Prosecco and Goldust for dressier occasions.
Whether you need a standout sandal with a little more detail, a comfortable wedge you can wear all day, or a machine washable espadrille that goes from cobblestones to cocktails, the Carolina delivers.
