Sandals Summer Women

Open-Toe Sandals for Women - Handcrafted and Built for Warm Days

There's a specific kind of sandal most women are looking for when the weather gets warm - open at the front, comfortable on the foot, interesting enough to not look like an afterthought. Not beach slippers. Not heavy festive footwear. Something in between that works for a summer morning market run, a lunch out, a weekend trip, and still looks right paired with an Indian outfit. That's exactly what this collection covers. Handcrafted open-toe sandals in vegan faux leather, and satin - Kolhapuri V-straps, printed poppy styles, hand-embroidered bird flats, denim picks, and stone-detail embellished styles. Every pair has a padded insole and a no-blister build so comfort isn't something you have to think about. For the full Kolhapuri range across flats and wedges, the Kolhapuri collection has everything in one place.

Which Open-Toe Sandals Work for Hot Days and Daily Wear?

V-strap Kolhapuris and minimal open-toe flats are the most practical warm-weather picks - the foot stays uncovered, air moves freely, and the flat base keeps things stable across long days. These are the summer sandals most women reach for first because they work with almost everything in the wardrobe without needing to be thought about.

Tan, two-tone, neon, and lotus-print Kolhapuris sit at the everyday end of this collection. The Nuri Kolhapuris - in blush, white, maroon, and tan - carry hand-placed delicate stones on a lighter, more refined Kolhapuri base that moves from a morning errand to an evening out without switching. Women comparing everyday open-toe options for the season often look at the daily-wear sandals collection alongside this one before deciding.

Which Printed Sandals Are Good for Vacations and Casual Outings?

Poppy sandals in pink and blue carry a custom floral print on satin with hand-embroidered straps and a 1-inch heel - light enough to feel flat, detailed enough to look intentional. These are a popular pick as summer vacation sandals because they cross over from a daytime outing to an evening dinner without needing a change. Bird flats in suede carry hand-embroidered motifs across all four sides - not just the toe cap - which is what makes them stand out in a season full of plain slip-ons. Heart flats, lotus Kolhapuris, and denim styles round out the printed and casual end of this collection.

Most of these styles pack flat, work across multiple outfit types, and don't demand much from your feet on long summer walking days. The travel sandals for women, similar styles by comfort and terrain if you're building a holiday wardrobe specifically.

Are There Embellished Open-Toe Sandals for Festive Occasions?

Yes. Not every occasion in warm months is casual - there are Diwali lunches, Eid evenings, mehendi functions, and family gatherings where you want something more considered than a plain Kolhapuri but not as heavy as full festive footwear. Pastel cutdana Kolhapuri flats, embellished thumb flats, and stone-detail Nuri styles sit in exactly that middle ground. They read dressed-up alongside kurtas, anarkalis, and cotton saris without the weight or height of a full occasion sandal.

Women who need something bolder for evening events in the season often move between this collection and the embellished sandals collection - same handcraft, more statement detailing. For party-specific profiles, the party-wear sandals collection covers the same craft on higher-impact silhouettes.

How Do You Pick the Right Sandal for the Season?

What Works for a Full Day of Walking in Warm Weather?

A flat open-toe sandal with a padded insole is the most practical answer for long summer days. The foot breathes, the base doesn't trap heat, and a cushioned insole takes pressure off the ball of the foot where most of it builds after two to three hours of walking. Preet Kaur's Kolhapuri and minimal flat styles soften with wear and adapt to the foot over time - which is why they hold up better across full warm days than most synthetic flats that feel fine in the morning and punishing by noon.

Which Open-Toe Sandals Work with Indian Outfits?

Kolhapuri flats - V-strap styles in tan, two-tone, and metallic finishes - sit naturally under kurtas, salwar sets, and cotton saris without needing to think about it. For summer Indian dressing these are the most versatile starting point because they work across casual and semi-festive occasions without a pair change. The Nuri Kolhapuris and pastel cutdana styles extend the range into lighter festive territory. For a fuller view across Kolhapuri styles and finishes, the Kolhapuri flats collection is the most complete reference.

Which Sandal Is Right for a Vacation or Weekend Trip?

Denim flats, bird flats, and poppy sandals are the strongest picks for summer travel - lightweight, open at the front, interesting without being loud, and easy to pair across casual and semi-dressy outfits. Satin poppy sandals with their 1-inch heel are specifically bought for holiday wear because they dress up or down depending on what you're wearing. The travel sandals collection narrows this further if you're packing for a specific kind of trip.

How Are These Sandals Made?

Every pair is made to order at Preet Kaur's Navi Mumbai workshop - nothing pre-packed, nothing mass-produced. The base is cut from vegan faux leather, or satin depending on the style. Bird motifs are embroidered across all four sides of the upper. Stone detail on the Nuri styles is placed individually. Poppy prints are custom-made on satin before the sandal is assembled. Cutdana beadwork is stitched by hand. Every pair is 100% vegan - no animal-derived materials or adhesives anywhere in the build, across every style in the collection. Because each pair is made after you order, dispatch takes 7 to 10 days.

Sizing and Care

Sizes run 36 to 42. Between sizes, go one up - the padded insole takes up a small amount of room and a slightly roomier fit is always more comfortable across a long warm day. If you're unsure how sizing feels across styles, the bestsellers collection has the highest volume of buyer notes on fit and is a good reference before ordering. Size exchanges within India are free.

For care - wipe the upper with a dry cloth after each wear and store in the dust bag. Suede styles are more moisture-sensitive than faux leather, so keep them away from rain and humidity. Don't stack pairs - embroidery and stone-setting holds its finish longer when stored flat separately.
