The person leaves a piece of his/her soul and creativity into the work. Each handmade pair reflects the hard work and the love put into the creative process. The family make raw materials come to life, in their hands leather transforms into a product that never goes out of style.
Their ancient Greek sandals are classic and timeless and the quality is guaranteed. You can choose from a huge selection of sandals (it really is sandal heaven) or you can have a pair custom made by Kostas, the second generation of the Pagonis family. Be part of the Pagonis family history and stop by their shop and workshop when you are in Naxos. It’s a very special experience to see the process of this fine art, meet the family and staff who are so wonderful, plus you will leave with a treasured piece of Naxos. If you’re not visiting Naxos anytime soon, you order them online.
