Which pairs carry real Indian textiles?

The Ikat pieces carry genuine resist-dyed ikat, the Texo pairs a true loom-woven jacquard, and the Patola pieces an honest print of patola geometry over leather. Between them that is nine of the pairs on this page. The rest carry India in ink and illustration rather than cloth.

Why are some shoes named in Devanagari?

Because the figures on them come from Indian iconography, not from a mood board: Ashva the steed, Naag the serpent, Simha the lion, Gaja the elephant are guardians, and the script is part of the design's honesty. The names are transliterated on every product page. It is branding in the oldest sense, a mark of where the work comes from.

Do these run on Indian, UK, or US sizing?

The lasts run EU sizing, 39 to 48 across the men's range, and every product page carries the US and UK conversion so you can order in the system you know. The unisex bombers list both men's and women's conversions. When in doubt, match your usual EU size.

Which pairs suit Diwali and the festive season?

The Vanrajya guardians and the Bageecha florals are built for festive evenings, and the crimson Texo pairs carry the season's colour without costume. For the office party end of the season, the coal ikat and patola brogues stay formal first, festive second. Loudness is a dial across the page.

Indian Shoes

Indian shoes, as this studio builds them: not the embroidered slipper the phrase usually sells, but oxford brogues in ikat and patola, loafers carrying guardian mythology, and unisex bombers drawn and made in India. The Indianness is in the cloth, the ink, and the hands, not the silhouette. Every last is modern, every pair handmade.
