The Legacy of Sankeshwari Craftsmanship

Embrace the rich cultural heritage of Maharashtra with our meticulously crafted Sankeshwari Kapshi Chappals. This particular style, originating from the Sankeshwar region, is highly esteemed for its refined structure and the signature Kapshi toe-loop design. Each pair is a masterpiece, handcrafted by master artisans using time-honored techniques passed down through generations.

Product Features:

• Distinctive ‘Kapshi’ and Sankeshwari Shape: The Sankeshwari variant is known for its graceful, slightly upturned, and often pointed front, sometimes referred to as the ‘Senapati’ (Commander) shape, giving it a commanding and elegant look. The Kapshi refers to the comfortable toe-loop construction that secures the foot.

• Superior Leather Quality: Crafted from 100% genuine, thick, vegetable-tanned leather (often buffalo or cowhide), which is dyed using natural, eco-friendly processes. This ensures breathability, exceptional durability, and a characteristic leather aroma.

• Traditional Multi-Tali Construction (Tali refers to the sole layer): Sankeshwari chappals often feature a layered (e.g., 2 Tali or 3 Tali) sole for added thickness, durability, and a more pronounced, classic look.

• Hand-Punched Detailing: The straps and sole edges are adorned with intricate, hand-punched patterns and traditional leather cord stitching, showcasing the high level of artisan skill required for this specific style.

• Optional ‘Sound’ Feature: Some authentic Sankeshwari chappals are traditionally designed to have a gentle, characteristic ‘clicking’ or ‘grinding’ sound when walking, often created by small brass ‘Naal’ (pins) or the layering of leather, which is a mark of its authenticity.

• Styling & Comfort: While robust, the pure leather construction softens and molds perfectly to your foot with wear, ensuring long-lasting comfort. The majestic appearance makes them ideal for cultural events, festivals, weddings, and complementing traditional Indian attire.
