Product description Perky Alpargata Gypsy
Step out of the ordinary with the perfect summer espadrilles, Perky Gypsy. The versatile black and white color matches any outfit, and the white fabric print adds to the unique overall look. The outer material is made from polyester fiber, the inner lining is 100% cotton, and the sole is made of recycled PVC.
Perky Alpargata Gypsy is a lightweight slip-on shoe in alpargata style, offering a relaxed atmosphere and a bold, bohemian-inspired design. The "Gypsy" motif evokes freedom, travel, and colorfulness—exactly the type of aesthetics that suit summer outfits and a casual city style. The shoes are imaginative yet wearable: they can liven up a simple t-shirt and jeans just as easily as airy dresses or a linen set. Thanks to the alpargata cut, the shoes are easy to slip on, stay on the foot, and offer comfort for a regular day. If you're looking for a pair that is compact, practical, and yet striking, Perky Alpargata Gypsy is a great choice—whether you want one universal pair for the whole summer or just an accessory to add personality to your outfit.
Use
Perky Alpargata Gypsy is best used in dry weather from spring to autumn, especially in the city, on walks, travels, and during weekend trips. The slip-on construction is ideal when you need to head out quickly—no laces, no fuss. It works great as "travel" footwear: it takes up almost no space in a backpack or suitcase and feels light on the foot even during a long day. Combining is easy: the more pronounced pattern stands out with monochrome pieces (white, black, beige, denim), but if you love the boho style, feel free to match it with ethnic accessories or jewelry. For maintenance, a gentle approach is recommended—first brush off dust dry, wipe small stains with a damp cloth and mild detergent. After cleaning, let the shoes air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight to avoid deformation and unnecessary fading of colors.
Composition
Perky Alpargata Gypsy shoes consist of an upper part with print, inner lining, insole, and outsole. These elements are designed to keep the shoe light, comfortable, and practical for everyday wear. The upper contributes to breathability and appearance, the lining enhances comfort in contact with the foot, the insole helps cushion the step, and the outsole provides stability on common surfaces. Exact material composition may vary depending on the specific production series or variant, so always refer to the product parameters on the e-shop and the information on the label inside the shoe. If you're hesitating between sizes, consider whether you'll wear the shoes barefoot or with thin socks. For individual comfort, you can add a thin insole, just keep in mind that the shoes will fit a bit tighter.
Packaging
Perky Alpargata Gypsy is delivered in protective packaging that protects the shoes during transport and storage. After unpacking, I recommend trying on the shoes at home on a clean surface to ensure a smooth size exchange if necessary. If you want the shoes to maintain their shape, fill the toe with paper or use shoe stretchers. For travel, a textile shoe bag is useful to protect the print from scratches and to separate the shoes from clothing in your luggage. Patterned models are best stored away from direct sunlight to keep colors vibrant and the motif pronounced over time.
Additional Info
Perky Alpargata Gypsy is the type of shoe you reach for on days when you want comfort but don't want to sacrifice style. It's a "statement" pair that turns a simple outfit into a thought-out ensemble—without complicated combinations. Thanks to the lightweight construction, it's suitable even for days when you're on your feet for a long time, and thanks to the easy slip-on, it's practical for daily routine. For the longest lifespan, I recommend regularly airing the shoes, alternating with another pair, and protecting them from prolonged soaking. If you're looking for boho-inspired alpargatas that are easy to wear and yet eye-catching, Perky Alpargata Gypsy is just the model to add lightness and wanderlust to your wardrobe.

About the brand Perky
Perky is a Brazilian brand that was founded in 2011. Since the beginning of production, the main product is a South American espadrille called ALPARGATAS. You have never heard this term and would like to know more? Alpargatas are characterized above all by the way they are made. One of the three main components of each shoe is a durable PVC sole. The other indispensable part of the shoe is the hand-woven fabric that is gradually wrapped around the sole until the final shape of the shoe is created. At this point, all that is missing is the insertion of a soft cotton insole, which is completely removable and can be exchanged by the wearer for an orthotic insole. Add to this innovative shoe construction original imaginative designs and the South American espadrilles called alpargatas are born.
Since then, he has created a plethora of sneakers and alpargatas, all sewn on the same design principle that makes the shoe so incredibly light and comfortable. Last but not least, it's very important to mention that we put emphasis on good working conditions for all employees, which is also reflected in the footwear of all employees - they all wear Perks :)
And now it's time to bring the lightness and comfort of Perky to Europe.
