Our Alpargatas

Born in the Pampas, made for the world
Palpa was born from the simplicity of the Argentine alpargata — a shoe worn by generations across the country. Lightweight, comfortable and timeless. We brought that tradition to Australia, keeping every detail that makes them special: natural materials, craftsmanship and a fit that feels like home.

What Are Alpargatas?
Alpargatas are Argentina's iconic traditional footwear, made with cotton canvas uppers and natural braided jute soles. For generations, they've been the everyday shoe of choice across the countryside and the city.
Lightweight, breathable and incredibly comfortable. At Palpa, we carry that tradition forward and bring it to Australia — keeping the artisanal essence with a modern touch for everyday life.
