The Rat Rivieras are the original shoes produced in the 1950's for the riviera lifestyle in France & Spain & perfect for summer styling in 2012. Still constructed on the same hand operated machines in Spain using a fresh range of colours & high-end fabrics the Riviera is both modern & classic. The Riviera is built around a classic hemp 'espadrille style' sole so they stay cool even on the hotest summer days. Great with Chinos Jeans or Shorts adding style to your summer & worthy of a new Rat Pack.
