Summer Picks

Summer Sandals Edit

Every summer, certain styles just make sense. The ones that work through the heat, hold up on long days, and still look right whether you're at a family lunch or a rooftop dinner. This edit brings together handpicked styles from across the collection - handcrafted by artisans, made without animal-derived materials, and chosen specifically for what an Indian summer actually asks of your footwear.

Which Embroidered Sandals Work Best for Summer Occasions

Summer in India is rarely just casual. There are functions, family gatherings, daytime weddings, and festive lunches scattered through the season - and flat embroidered sandals are what most women reach for on these days.

The Bluet, Dune, and Rouge embroidered flats carry hand-done detailing on light faux leather bases - cool enough for the heat, considered enough for the occasion. The Lily Kolhapuri flats take this further with a specially customised print and hand embroidery built directly into the construction, designed to sit well under a kurta set or light lehenga without adding weight to the look. For longer celebrations and multi-day wedding events, our festive and wedding footwear has embellished styles built to hold up through hours of occasion wear.

What Makes Denim Sandals a Good Pick for Summer

One detail that runs through this edit and sets it apart - denim. The Denim Flats, Denim Bird Flats, and Denim Kolhapuri all use denim fabric on handcrafted bases, keeping the construction traditional while the feel stays current and light.

They cross over more freely than embroidered styles - equally at home with a linen co-ord set as with a printed kurta. The hand-crafted bird detailing on the Denim Bird Flats is the kind of thing people notice without you pointing it out. For summer specifically, the fabric breathes better than most and doesn't hold heat the way heavier materials do. If you want more flat styles in similar casual silhouettes, our flat sandals for women carry everyday picks in the same spirit - different finishes, same ease.

Which Kolhapuri Sandals Work Best for Daily Wear in Summer

The Kolhapuri flats in this edit are the ones that get worn most through the season. Two-tone finishes, pastel Chutiana styles, the Ar-bun block Kolhapuri - open-toe construction, flat base, hand-stitched by artisans using a craft tradition that has been part of Indian footwear for generations.

Pastel and neutral finishes work across the widest range of summer outfits - cotton kurtas, sarees, palazzo sets, and casual western dressing on a relaxed day. They ask the least of you while still looking right, which is usually what a long summer day needs. For the full Kolhapuri range beyond this seasonal edit, our handcrafted Kolhapuri sandals have styles across occasions, finishes, and heel heights. If you spend long days on your feet or travel through summer, our comfortable travel sandals have lightweight flat styles made specifically for that kind of wear.

What Summer Heels Work for Evening Occasions

Not everything in summer is casual. The heels in this edit are chosen specifically for evenings, dinners, and occasions that need something more than flats without going too heavy for the season.

The Ivory Chutiana Block Heel Kolhapuri sits at the crossover between traditional craft and occasion wear - the Kolhapuri construction keeps it grounded, the heel adds enough height for an evening look. The Sukanya Strap Heels and Tan Embossed Pencil Heels lean more western in silhouette, which works well with Indo-western outfits and dresses. Handcrafted, vegan, and built with a stable base so you can actually wear them through an event rather than just arrive in them. For more height options with a stable base, our block heels and wedges for women have occasion-ready styles in gold, silver, two-tone, and sheesha finishes.
