Sun, Sand, and… Kolhapuris?
Summer style in India usually cues the usual suspects—cotton maxis, linen shirts, straw hats. Yet the real heroes live at ground level: those easy-breezy Kolhapuris that slip on quicker than you can say heatwave. Long before slides owned Instagram Reels, artisans in Kolhapur were hand-braiding strips of leather into silhouettes that felt like barefoot freedom. Today, Fizzy Goblet is re-spinning that heritage into kolhapuri footwear for ladies that pairs old-school craft with new-school colour palettes. The result? Shoes that read “vacay” even when you’re hustling from Zoom calls to cold-coffee runs.
Flats That Out-Chill Your Flip-Flops
Your flip-flops might be loyal, but they’re not exactly conversation starters. Enter kolhapuri flats—the sartorial equivalent of an iced chai with extra masala. We’ve amped up the comfort with cushioned footbeds and anti-slip soles, so that sidewalk sprints to the auto feel like beach strolls. Trade your usual white sneakers for pastel Kolhapuris with cropped denims and a breezy poplin shirt; watch strangers try to decode that effortless cool.
Wedges That Make “Tall Order” Sound Fun
Every summer wardrobe deserves a lift, without the wobble. Our kolha wedges stretch the Kolhapuri style onto a cork-wrapped platform, making you a couple of inches taller and a lot more relaxed about grass-stained lawns or cobbled brunch spots. Pair them with printed palazzo pants or a romantic midi dress; suddenly that rooftop sundowner RSVP feels like destiny.
Heels That Can Out-Dance the Baraat DJ
Yes, kolhapuri heels exist—and they’re rewriting the stiletto story for anyone whose feet usually tap out by dessert. Picture the classic T-strap, but elevated on a block heel wrapped in embroidered fabric straight from our design studio. Cushioning hugs your arches; little metallic ghungroos flirt with every step. If you’ve ever feared “ethnic” shoes were strictly wedding-only, these heels will moonlight with ripped mom jeans and a linen blazer faster than you can say fusion.
Craft Meets Cool-Girl Cred
Kolhapuris have always had a distinct identity—the wide strap, the toe loop, the hand-cut leather. What makes Fizzy Goblet’s version stand out isn’t just the craft, it’s how we adapt it. We take a silhouette that’s been around for generations and rework it for today’s lifestyle. That means softer footbeds. Lighter soles. Styles that match both your printed kurta and your co-ord set. While the base is still inspired by traditional Kolhapuri techniques, everything else—from colours to materials—is designed with real wardrobes (and real weather) in mind.
Care Hacks to Make Them Last Past Monsoon
-
Let them breathe. Avoid plastic boxes; opt for a cloth bag or an open shelf.
-
Spot-clean, don’t soak. A damp cotton cloth + mild soap keeps leather supple.
-
Sole therapy. If you get caught in rain, blot with a newspaper and air-dry—never under direct sun.
- Refresh & revive. A quick buff with colourless leather balm every two months keeps hues vibrant.
The Final Step
Kolhapuris are the unsung MVPs of summer because they bridge comfort and charisma like few other silhouettes can. They’re rooted in heritage yet refreshingly future-proof—especially when Fizzy Goblet throws in contemporary hues, ergonomic soles, and playful embellishments. So whether you move more toward kolhapuri flats for poolside lounging, reach for kolha wedges to give your maxi dress a boost, or trust kolhapuri heels to survive a 12-hour wedding marathon.
