Kolhapuri Chappal crafted in leather by the small artisans from Maharashtra and Karnataka brings a sheer elegance to your style. This indigenous footwear from India is crafted for comfort and durability. Leather from buffalo hide is specially processed to make the Kolhapuri chappal and give it durability. As per the history; the Kolhapuri chappals were worn even in the early 13th century. But during it was only during late 1920 the chappals became known to the outer world. During this period the chappals that were made by many people in Kolhapur, but the ones that were made by Saudagar family in Kolhapur were famous. These chappals made by them were thin and lightweight with a decorative top side. The chappals developed initially had flaps on either side of it, thus they were called as Kanwali which means chappals with ears. They began trading these chappals to Mumbai to one of the prominent footwear retailers there. Soon these chappals got noticed and there was great demand for them. This increase in demand for the Kolhapuri chappals forced the Saudagar family to recruit more cobblers and teach them the method to make these types of chappals.
