Brother and sister, native of the Basque Country, Astrid and Alexandre Suermondt have been wearing traditional rope-soled sandals for a long time. Tired by their fragility and their lack of comfort, they spent two years designing and developping a sneaker inspired by the rope-soled sandal, comfortable and water-resistant, in the urban and uncluttered lines.

Summer, 2014, the mark Angarde, or "the avant-garde" in old French, was born. Collections are drawn in Paris and produced in Spain, by a family company with more than 25 years of know-how. Paintings, leathers, silks and other materials result from big Spanish, Italian or French workshops to guarantee an optimal quality.

Angarde created the very first sliker, a mix between a slip-on and a sneaker, wearable under a heavy rain or under a blazing sun, in the city or at the beach, for having some drinks with some friends or going out.

The Angarde style is minimalist and dynamic. Their severals cooperations also bring an unexpected sophistication.
