What better way to improve a pair of espadrilles than by adding some exotic animals?

These animals know better than to come out in the light of day, though. Here they can be observed in their natural habitats (well, some may argue that giraffes don’t venture into jungles, but this one certainly has), going about their business. Tigers are sneaky characters; only the infamous striped tail gives away his hiding spot. A large, colourful parrot perches in the trees, a snake slithers its way through the branches, and a toucan watches intently as a giraffe rummages through the treetops in search of some lunch. And just when least expected, a crocodile emerges from its watery habitat to snap its jaws at something – we can only guess what…

Given the size of the espadrilles, there wasn’t a huge amount of space to work with, and wanting to leave ample parts of the canvas unpainted, this seemed a better alternative to cramming all the animals in full onto the shoes.
