Day forty three / three sixty five - Kolhapuri Chappals

Chappals loosely translates to ‘sandals’ & Kolhapur is a village in Maharashtra where this footwear comes from! This is my first pair, & what gives it sentimental value is that they were my mom’s staple footwear during her college days.

I love the silver, don’t like the gold trim too much but couldn’t help it! The sole is pure leather & the entire thing is hand-made. And it kind felt good to support the artisans.
