PARTENARIATS
Création Catalane X Maison Giy
This sumptuous pair of vigatane is the result of a collaboration between our manufacturing workshop, located in Saint-Laurent de Cerdans, France and Maison GIY, located in Saint Louis, Senegal since 1989.
This exceptional and unique collaboration in the world has made it possible to mix two know-how, jewelry and the artisanal manufacture of traditional shoes. The Création Catalane factory was the only one in the world to still use the ancestral method of the small point to make these shoes.
The GIY house holds a unique collection in the world of ancient semi precious stones dating from two centuries to two millennia BC.
Discover the art of the master glassmakers of Murano, knowledge inherited from Roman artisans and Egyptians, to go back to the source: the Etruscan and Phoenician civilizations of Mesopotamia.

Paris Marathon - April 7, 2018
Wearing espadrilles in the Catalan Creation colors, Menouar has made the difference with his competitors.
Catalan vigatanes, mixed with brands such as Adidas or Nike, took him to 90th place. A feat after a race of 2 hours and 35 minutes on 42, 195 kilometers of cobblestones.
The man with tenacity as solid as his shoes, revealed his preparation in an interview with La Semaine du Roussillon: “I train six times a week. If I did not have time because I worked between 6:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m., I would go jogging from Perpignan to Elne, or I would go around the lake of Villeneuve de La Raho in the middle of the night. "
At the end of this effort, Menouar sets a record. That of the marathon in minimalist shoes.

Création Catalane X La Mil Lenaria
La cobla Mil·lenària was born in 1989 on the initiative of young musicians from the Perpignan Conservatory and the Music Schools of the Sardanist Federation of Roussillon. They had the desire to energize Catalan culture and very quickly, the “Mil” managed to make a name for itself in the world of
sardana, in the North and in the South of Catalonia. The ardor and energy of the musicians who compose it even earned it the nickname of “Cobla Show” in the aplecs of the province of Barcelona.
