RIA Menorca was founded 75 years ago and we are immensely proud of our shoe-manufacturing business, which has steadily grown on a national and international level since its inception. From the very beginning, we ensured that our Menorcan avarca sandals were handcrafted in the traditional way, with every attention to detail. The manufacturing process is supported by our “Menorcan avarca” Seal of Guarantee.

The next generation of RIA avarcas has been taken one step further. We have converted a simple Menorcan sandal that was traditionally used by farm workers on this small Mediterranean island into exciting and iconic fashion footwear, modelled on catwalks in New York and many other cities worldwide. Our historic benchmark for quality in the industry has now been consolidated with the addition of cutting-edge designs.

Our Menorcan sandals are a symbol of tradition, but that is not why we are talking about something old or outdated. Year after year the sandals become an increasingly entrenched accessory in the world of fashion. Every season, RIA Menorca renews its designs to become, year after year, a symbol of Menorca in the world.
