Adorn a Piece of India's Rich Craft Legacy with Jaypore's Kolhapuri Heels
The bustling city of Kolhapur in Maharashtra nestles the craft of artisanal footwear, the Kolhapuri Chappals. Known for their fine craftsmanship, the Kolhapuri Chappals, or simply the Kolhapuris, are footwear that are handcrafted from pure leather. This iconic craft has graced international runways and adorned the feet of celebrities and political leaders, achieving an almost cult status. It takes days to craft the sandals' distinct designs and dye them using vegetable dyes.
The world-renowned Kolhapuri Chappals traces its origin to the 13th century. It was the royal family of Saudagar who is credited for creating the distinct design of the sandals. With time, the city became the hub for local master artisans who craft this footwear. With time, the footwear reached Bombay, where it sold instantly and became popular among the masses. Since then, there has been no looking back for this indigenous craft.

From the Archives of Kolhapuri
Enamored with the finest of local leather, the craft of making Kolhapuri chappals dates back to the 13th century. It is the royal family of Saudagar who chanced upon the cobblers of the small village of Kohlapur to make these sandals. The footwear's eccentric design immediately arrested their attention. Further making changes to the existing design and making it more comfortable, they enhanced it, giving rise to the design of the current footwear.
While they steadily became popular, it was in the 18th century, under the royal patronage of King Sahu Maharaj, that they further became renowned. During this period, it reached Bombay, or present-day Mumbai, where it sold instantly. Currently, there are various artisans who keep contributing to this beautiful handcraft and providing us with such detailed and distinct artisanal footwear.

The Process of Making Kolhapuri Chappals
Traditionally, the Kolhapuri Chappals are made from cow or buffalo hides. These hides go through several processes and are made into premium leather. These are dyed using vegetable dyes that are obtained from Harida seeds and the bark of Babul trees. Since the dyes are sourced from nature, they are hypoallergic and safe to wear by all. The process still remains largely unchanged today. Thus giving us a glimpse into the legacy of the craft.
Today, the town of Kolhapur is recognized globally because of its Kolhapuri Chappals. No machines are used to craft these sandals. The artisans sit through hours sewing and pasting layers of leather and creating beautiful designs on them. Each process involves cutting, beating, stitching, and more, and it can take days to make a single pair. This makes the Kolhapuris soft and comfortable to wear with extended longevity. The process is entirely handcrafted, highlighting the importance and comfort of wearing such artisanal gems.
