Product description Perky Alpargata Ink Woman
Classic espadrilles by Perky, handmade using organic cotton and recycled PVC. Minimalist design and black color make them the perfect shoes for any outfit - with dresses, shorts, or suits. They are easy to slip on and, thanks to the fabric upper, comfortable and adapt well to the shape of your foot.
Perky Alpargata Ink Woman are women's espadrilles (alpargatas) in an elegant shade "Ink" – a deep, dark ink color that appears clean, timeless, and easily combinable. If you're looking for shoes that look tidy but are also lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear, this model is a great choice. Alpargatas are typical for their ease: they fit casual outfits but can also complement dresses or pants for work if you have a more relaxed style. The Ink variant also appears more universal than light colors because you're less "afraid" of minor smudges and it pairs well with both dark and light clothing. Perky Alpargata Ink Woman is ideal when you want shoes that you can slip on in seconds, look great, and you won't have to worry about complex combinations.
Use
These alpargatas are mainly used in warmer months – in spring, summer, and early autumn. They are suitable for the city, vacations, walks, outings with friends, and as comfortable footwear for traveling, where you'll appreciate their light weight and packability. They look great with denim, linen pants, shorts, maxi dresses, and skirts. Thanks to the dark "Ink" shade, they easily match with white, beige, gray, black, and bold colors that you want to stand out in your outfit. If you plan on longer walks, I recommend wearing the alpargatas gradually at first so the shoe naturally conforms to the shape of your foot. After wearing, let them air out and store them in a dry place; if they get wet, let them dry at room temperature. Avoid drying on a radiator or in direct sunlight to prevent unnecessary deformation of materials and loss of color depth.
Composition
Perky Alpargata Ink Woman is designed as lightweight, breathable, and comfortable footwear for everyday wear. They typically consist of an upper textile material in an ink shade, an inner part pleasant to contact with the foot, a comfortable insole, and a flexible outsole suitable for urban surfaces. The exact material composition may vary depending on the specific variant or production series, so always refer to the parameters listed on the product in the e-shop and the information on the label in the shoe. When choosing a size, it's important that the shoe doesn't pinch anywhere – especially at the tip and over the instep – while ensuring that the heel remains stable. If you're between sizes, consider whether you'll wear them barefoot or with thin socks; with alpargatas, it often depends on the preference of "tight fit" vs. more space for all-day comfort.
Packaging
The Perky Alpargata Ink Woman shoes are delivered in protective packaging suitable for safe transport, ensuring they reach you in perfect condition. I recommend the first fitting be done at home on a clean surface – this way you'll keep the sole and upper without marks, and the size exchange will be easy if needed. For storage off-season, clean the alpargatas, let them dry thoroughly, and store them in a dry place, ideally in a box or fabric bag. To maintain their shape, you can lightly stuff them with paper. They are perfect for traveling: they take up minimal space and can easily be packed as "second shoes" in a suitcase or backpack.
Additional Info
For long-lasting wear, I recommend regular, gentle maintenance. For common dirt, a soft brush or damp cloth is usually sufficient; for heavier soiling, use a mild cleaner suitable for textiles. Avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged soaking, which can weaken the material and glued joints. If you want to increase resistance to moisture and stains, consider impregnation suitable for the specific type of upper (first test on an inconspicuous area). You will appreciate Perky Alpargata Ink Woman if you want universal "slip-on" shoes: they look more elegant than classic canvas shoes, yet maintain comfort and lightness. These are exactly the shoes you'll reach for on days when you want to be out quickly, look good, and feel comfortable.

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.
