LIDCOM A Design Kolhapuri Chappal – Genuine Leather Handcrafted Footwear from Kolhapur

Step into a rich legacy of craftsmanship with the LIDCOM A Design Kolhapuri Chappal, a perfect blend of traditional leather artistry and modern styling. Handcrafted by experienced Kolhapuri artisans under the LIDCOM brand, this chappal celebrates the authentic look and feel of classic Kolhapuri footwear while offering the comfort and finish that today’s consumers expect.

Each pair is made using 100 percent genuine, vegetable-tanned leather that is soft to touch, breathable, and known for its long-lasting durability. The leather gradually moulds to the shape of your feet, giving a custom, comfortable fit over time. The A pattern geometric design on the upper adds a stylish twist to the traditional Kolhapuri silhouette, making this chappal suitable for festive outfits, ethnic wear, as well as semi-casual clothing.

Behind every pair lies the skill of Kolhapuri karigars who have inherited this craft through generations. From cutting and shaping the leather to hand-stitching the sole and finishing the edges, the entire process is carried out patiently and precisely. LIDCOM works closely with these artisans to maintain strict quality standards, support fair livelihoods, and preserve the cultural identity of Kolhapuri footwear on a larger platform.
