Ethnic Footwear for Women: The Timeless Kolhapuri Chappal

It is kind of impossible to think of Indian footwear without the iconic Kolhapuri chappal flashing across the movie reel of my mind. I don’t know a single Indian woman who doesn’t own a pair of Kolhapuri chappals as part of their ethnic sandals collection…

I can’t think of a single Indian festive occasion from wedding to puja wear at least one pair of feet isn’t adorned with kolhapuri chappals for women whether they are flats or heels, even the fabulous kolhapuri stiletto.

The humble traditional Indian ethnic footwear has spread across the world and now crossed over from ‘comfy desi’ to ‘global chic’! ​​My staple summer ‘uniform’ - cotton kurti, leggings or jeans, and Kolhapuri chappals - work for me across the globe. Kolhapuri chappals also make the best gift for friends and family around the world.

Kolhapuri chappals are a type of quintessential Indian footwear - handcrafted leather sandals.

They come from a small town called Kolhapur known for not much else but this type of leather handcrafted footwear. At least not to me. All I know about that town is that apparently for several generations past most families in Kolhapur are or have been traditionally involved in the making of these sandals.

Worn by men and women, the rich and the poor, the fashionable and the fashion-blind - Kolhapuri chappals are ubiquitous across India.

Regal Shoes is doing our part in pushing for its popularity – both among men and women. The newest line of the sandals we have created are made with premium super soft leather and lots of footbed padding, so they are as comfortable as the softest shoes of other styles.

And now you can go kolhapuri chappal online shopping. Get yourself a pair ASAP!
