Sunchanvre Red Braided Jelly Sandals Women
The Sunchanvre is a women's braided jelly sandal from Méduse, crafted from a waterproof PVC blend with hemp fibres. It features a translucent red braided toe cage, an adjustable tongue buckle strap with steel hardware, a lightly textured footbed, and non-slip cleats. Rinse after use for care; note that the style runs small—one reviewer who normally wears size 38 purchased a size 39 and confirmed that it fits small.

Product Insights
The Méduse Sunchanvre Red Braided Jelly Sandals Women ($19.99 CAD) are a heritage French jelly sandal updated with hemp-infused PVC: the hemp and PVC are 100% French-sourced, the material is recycled and phthalate-free yet recyclable, and the hemp crop’s carbon absorption is said to match a temperate forest’s yearly uptake in four months. Each pair gets a unique surface texture from the hemp injection—visible flecks are fiber, not defects—and the red tone naturally varies by batch because it comes from sugars in the hemp. The sandal is flat, with no arch support or cushioning, and PVC straps don’t stretch, so the brand recommends sizing up one full EU size for its short length; even then, wide or high-instep feet may remain snug, and the flat footbed suits only short outings. The cleated outsole supports traction on wet surfaces, but care requires rinsing in clean water and storing dry, away from heat, in a ventilated box or bag. It is tagged Made in France & Morocco, currently out of stock, and holds a 4-star rating from one review.
Verified claims
- Brand heritage
- Méduse traces to a 1946 accident: an Auvergne cutler turned too-soft PVC knife handles into beach shoes.
- Brand name
- In 1970s-80s Paris, the milky translucent jelly earned the nickname 'Medusa,' which later became the registered brand name.
- Made in France
- Hemp and PVC are 100% French-sourced, with assembly split between France and Morocco.
- Materials
- Hemp-infused PVC with a steel buckle, recycled and phthalate-free, and the blend stays recyclable.
- Texture and feel
- The PVC-hemp blend has a slightly more matte finish and added texture than standard PVC, and the hemp injection gives each pair a unique surface finish rather than an identical mold look.
- Heat sensitivity
- Keep the sandals away from heat and prolonged sun when drying or storing them, because like most PVC they can become sticky, cloudy, or faded.
- Carbon capture
- Méduse says the hemp crop used for this material absorbs as much carbon in four months as a temperate forest absorbs in a year.
- Color variation
- Red tone comes from sugars in the hemp, so batches can vary in color.
- Sizing
- Style runs short in length; size up one full EU size.
- Fit
- The braided PVC straps don't stretch, so wide feet can feel snug across the instep even after sizing up; high-instep fit has limited give but no exact-style feedback confirms the extremes.
- Comfort
- Flat footbed with no arch support or cushioning — more supple than classic Méduse jellies, but buyers advise short outings only.
- Traction
- Cleated outsole provides traction on wet surfaces.
- Cleaning and storage
- Rinse with clear water after each wear and dry; store in a box or cloth bag in a dry, ventilated spot, with paper to keep shape.
- Size parity
- No half sizes exist between EU 36 and 41, and all listed sizes carry the same price, so between-size shoppers are choosing only which neighboring whole size fits.
- Waterproof
- The Sunchanvre is completely waterproof, and its non-slip cleats keep it wearable across wet decking and sandy ground rather than turning slick.
- Strap padding
- The straps are unpadded smooth PVC with no soft lining, so they may rub against bare skin; wearing socks or using a balm can help prevent irritation.
- Red color accuracy
- The red color is vibrant and matches the product photos well, though it can appear slightly deeper indoors and brightens in direct sunlight.
- Durability
- The braided PVC material is reasonably durable for casual wear, but like most PVC sandals it can crack or warp if exposed to extreme heat or stored improperly.
- Material compliance
- Méduse states the PVC-hemp body is phthalate-free and 100% recyclable, with the hemp replacing part of the petroleum-based plastic.
- Adjustability
- The tongue-and-buckle strap is adjustable, so it can be tightened for a narrower foot and loosened for a higher instep, though the non-stretching PVC limits how much give it has.
