Hand-stitched, vegetable-tanned leather sandals from Kolhapur and neighbouring districts.
Understand
Kolhapuri chappals have long been made by leatherworking families in the Kolhapur region and nearby Karnataka; they carry a geographical-indication tag.
Leather is tanned with natural materials, then cut, braided and hand-stitched without nails, giving the sandal its flat sole and distinctive woven straps.
