Step into Style: Pedro García’s Exclusive Appearance at Nordstrom South Coast Plaza!
04.01.24
Pedro Garcia, Creative Director and representative of the third generation of the family saga, is set to make a special appearance in Costa Mesa at Nordstrom South Coast Plaza on Friday, April 5th from 4 to 6 p.m.
Customers are invited to have their purchases autographed while immersing themselves in the artistry of Spanish shoemaking craftsmanship. Each Nordstrom store will feature a meticulously curated selection of Pedro García pieces, offering patrons a distinctive shopping experience complete with complimentary cocktails and exclusive gifts crafted from the brand’s signature premium leather.
The collection boasts a diverse array of designs embodying Pedro García's hallmark "contemporary comfort," ranging from chic sandals embellished with Swarovski crystals to frayed silk satin sneakers, loafers, block heels, and slip-ons. Additionally, patrons can explore a variety of wedges, flatforms, and hand-stitched espadrilles reflecting the brand's 'Hip Mediterranea' DNA.
Pedro García inherits the rich traditions and artisanal skills passed down through generations of shoemakers. This heritage, coupled with the talent of the brand’s designers and the expertise of its artisans, transforms the factory into a veritable ‘design laboratory.’ Here, the pursuit of comfort drives innovation in design, as the team experiments with new materials, finishes, and techniques.
Every pair of Pedro García shoes is meticulously crafted in-house, drawing upon the expertise of artisan shoemakers and master technicians to produce exquisitely rendered pieces proudly labeled ‘Made in Spain.’ The factory is located in Elda, a small Spanish city renowned for its distinguished shoemaking heritage, where the company has been rooted since 1925.
For nearly a century, Pedro García has upheld a steadfast commitment to ethical employment practices, proudly supporting local craftspeople and nurturing talent within the region. This dedication underscores the brand's unwavering reverence for artisanal values and the preservation of skilled craftsmanship.
Nordstrom South Coast Plaza is at 3333 Bristol St. in Costa Mesa.
