Kolhapuri chappals have evolved over time — today, you’ll find them in vibrant colors, attractive designs, and surprisingly affordable prices. Most of these are made using resin, PU leather, or other synthetic materials.
They’re:
1. Visually appealing
2. Available in thousands of colors
3. Foldable, lightweight, and easy to mass-produce
4. Priced below ₹500
But here’s the catch — these synthetic chappals are not biodegradable and have a lasting impact on the environment.
In contrast, genuine leather Kolhapuris:
1. Come in fewer, more natural shades
2. Require skilled craftsmanship and multiple labor-intensive steps
3. Are difficult to price below ₹900
4. Offer health benefits like heat absorption from the feet, keeping you cool
5. Are biodegradable and environmentally responsible
Let’s value tradition, support artisans, and make eco-conscious choices.
Choose original. Choose genuine leather Kolhapuris.
