Aïoli, my friends! Marseille isn’t just about the sea and the sun!
It’s also about unwritten rules, a delicate balance between tradition and trend, between pastis and spritz. And now, there’s a situation almost "on the floor" (it’s really the case to say).
Apparently, some "people" went to Tuba Club… without Espigas on their feet.
We wanted to believe it, we thought: "No, it's just a joke, you know, Marseillais love telling stories." But nope. The rumor is true. Some NPCs of style showed up in neon sneakers (poor them) and camping flip-flops (worse).
We’re on the verge of an industrial disaster, worse than the sardine blocking the Old Port (that old awkward story).
"60 Suspended Pairs Donated to the Women's Shelter"
Since May, the Espigas brand has launched a solidarity initiative in its Vieux-Port store called "Suspended Pairs." Inspired by the concept of "suspended coffees"—where customers can buy a coffee for someone in need—Espigas offers a similar gesture: for every pair of shoes purchased, an equivalent pair is donated to someone identified as being in a vulnerable situation by a Marseille-based association.Since May, the Espigas brand has launched a solidarity initiative in its Vieux-Port store called "Suspended Pairs." Similar to the concept of "suspended coffees" – where customers can prepay for a coffee for someone in need – Espigas invites customers to purchase a pair of shoes and, in return, donate an equivalent pair to someone identified as being in a precarious situation through a local Marseille-based association.
This initiative, which has already resulted in the donation of 60 pairs, reflects Espigas' commitment to supporting the community and helping those who are struggling, offering a practical and thoughtful way to give back.
