At Angarde, as you know, co-creation is at the center of our values. For this summer, we have decided to lend the brush to the Chilean artist, Dani Garreton. We'll let you discover it!
Angarde x Dani Garreton: the summer collab

Above all, Angarde is the story of a brother and a sister who grew up in the Basque Country, facing the sea.
Dani, for her part, grew up near the ocean. But in this specific case, you have to change hemisphere and imagine yourself on the Chilean coast. Very quickly, it was the ocean - and nature more generally - that she fell in love for the first time.
So when Alexandre - the co-founder of the brand - discovered his work, the idea of a co-creation for the summer was immediately born.
Who is Dani Garreton?
After studying in Hamburg in Germany, Daniela alias Dani, settled in San Sebastian (Spain - Basque Country), to establish her new artistic residency in 2010.
From her studio, she draws, doodles and paints her projects in orange and blue. His universe evokes the beauty of nature, a passion for the ocean and marine life. Minimalist and airy, its style remains no less intense.
Moreover, Dani has been presented in numerous galleries and published in several magazines, both in Europe, the United States, Australia, Brazil and Japan.
We asked Dani to describe her world in three words. His answer ? Family, nature and creativity.
Indeed, Dani is a happy mother of a baby almost two years old. Between creation and family life, she tells us that for her, every day is crazy!
But whether it's lunch or a walk on the beach, she enjoys every moment.
“My favorite moment of the day is when I hear my baby's little voice say “Mommy”... and also when she follows her father and then I finally have time for myself!” - Dani
In short, a daily life filled with love… and humor!
I discovered the collaboration
A collaboration turned towards the sunset
For Dani, sunset is an iconic and even magical moment. A moment that we can experience from anywhere and that we all want to admire.
“Fire and water, these forces of nature that become one” - Dani
Illustrating this moment was obvious to her. She was inspired by it to create and imagine this collaboration which is a true ode to the beauty of nature.
For this unique collection, we wanted to offer two unisex models, capable of being worn all summer: a sneaker and an espadrille. Two models of which we are very proud!
The sneaker of a thousand suns
Placed on the back of the sneaker, Dani's pattern blends perfectly with the off-white of the upper which reminds us of the grains of sand on the most beautiful beaches in the Basque Country.
The Angarde x Dani Garreton sneaker is designed by hand in our production workshop located in Porto, Portugal. The upper of the shoe is made from recycled cotton and the outsole is made from recycled rubber.
And the espadrille then?
For the espadrille, we followed Dani's sketches which remain in the same spirit. Between the lines of this face on the ocean, we can read the calm that the sunset gives us.
Placed on the front of the shoe, this pattern discreetly adorns the espadrille. An elegant model which is also made from recycled cotton and made by hand in our workshop in Spain.
All these elements make these models, in collaboration with Dani Garreton, stylish, durable, vegan and environmentally friendly shoes.
And if you ask who is her favorite pair, Dani's answer is our favorite and it made us laugh:
“It's like asking a parent to choose a favorite child [...] no matter what I draw, I always have an emotional connection to my creations [...] I love them both” - Dani
