Product description Perky Alpargata Eco Black Waves
Espadrilles from the Perky eco collection in a new black and white design are waiting for your joint adventures. The outer material is made of recycled cotton, the sole of recycled PET bottles and cork. The shoe's construction is designed for maximum wearing comfort, with side vents on the inside contributing to the shoe's breathability. Give your feet comfort and lightness when walking.
Perky Alpargata Eco Black Waves is a lightweight slip-on shoe in alpargata style that combines a minimalist look with an imaginative detail in the form of a 'wave' motif in black tones. The result is a model that looks clean, modern and at the same time not boring – the subtle pattern adds depth and texture but remains easily combinable. You'll appreciate the eco version if you're looking for a more responsible choice without compromising on comfort and style. The typical alpargata cut is designed for quick wearing and a natural feel on the foot, making the shoes an easy everyday companion for the city, work with a more relaxed dress code, and traveling. Black Waves fits into a wardrobe dominated by neutral colors and nicely complements more expressive pieces – black just works almost always.
Usage
This model is ideal for everyday wear in dry weather from spring to autumn. It's suitable for city errands, walks, travel, and days when you want comfort without dealing with laces. Due to the dark design, it is also practical in terms of maintenance and still looks 'clean' even with frequent wear. For styling, I recommend combining with jeans, black trousers, linen pieces in natural shades, or simple dresses – the Black Waves pattern provides detail without overwhelming the outfit. To make your shoes last as long as possible, avoid prolonged soaking and drying on a direct heat source. When soiled, first remove dust and dry dirt with a soft brush, or use a damp cloth for smaller stains. If the shoes get wet, fill them with paper and let them dry naturally at room temperature.
Composition
Perky Alpargata Eco Black Waves is built on a combination of an eco-character upper, inner lining, insole, and outsole. Each part contributes to comfort and functionality: the outer material ensures breathability and appearance, the lining increases comfort in contact with the foot, the insole helps cushion the step, and the outsole provides stability on common surfaces. Eco designation usually means an emphasis on more environmentally friendly material choices or processes; however, specific composition may vary depending on the variant and production series. Therefore, I recommend always referring to the information provided in the product parameters on the e-shop and the label inside the shoe. If you're hesitating between sizes, consider the way of wearing (barefoot vs. with a thin sock) – and if you want more softness, you can also use a thin insert.
Packaging
The shoes are delivered in protective packaging that preserves their shape and surface during transport. Upon delivery, I recommend trying the shoes at home on a clean surface to ensure an uncomplicated size exchange if necessary. For storage, it's practical to insert paper into the toes or use shoe trees, especially if you alternate the footwear and don't wear it daily. When traveling, you'll appreciate a textile shoe bag – it minimizes abrasion and also separates the shoes from clothing in a suitcase. For dark textile models, it's worth storing them away from direct sunlight to maintain the richness of black tones over time.
Additional info
Perky Alpargata Eco Black Waves is a great choice for anyone who wants universal shoes 'for everything' but also appreciates a discreet design element. The wave motif adds character, the eco version adds value, and the slip-on cut ensures maximum practicality. Thanks to its lightweight, the model is also suitable as spare footwear in a backpack or suitcase – it doesn't take up much space and can be used in almost any situation. For comfort, I recommend wearing the shoes for shorter periods in the first few days to let the material and shape naturally 'settle'. If you're looking for lightweight alpargatas with a clean look that can handle the daily pace and also enhance your style, Alpargata Eco Black Waves will be a very reliable choice.

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.
