In a dynamic era where fashion, culture, and ethics converge more than ever before, Korakari Timeless Fashion — renowned for its authentic, handcrafted Kolhapuri chappals and jutties rooted in traditional Indian heritage — is thrilled to unveil its Non-Leather Collection. This exciting new range reimagines classic handcrafted footwear for the modern, conscientious consumer who values style without compromise.

Korakari has built its reputation on timeless craftsmanship and quality. Since its inception, the brand has celebrated the rich legacy of Kolhapuri footwear — traditionally made from leather using age-old artisanal techniques — and has delivered them to customers across India and around the world.  Now, with the launch of the non-leather line, the brand is taking a thoughtful step further toward inclusivity, creative innovation, and ethical fashion.

Why Non-Leather Matters: The Rise of Better Alternatives in Fashion  

The global fashion landscape is undergoing rapid transformation. A growing segment of consumers is seeking products that align with ethical and environmental values, without having to sacrifice style or comfort. Vegan and non-leather materials have emerged as a response to this shift — offering alternatives to traditional animal-derived leather. These alternatives range from plant-based options like pineapple, cactus, and apple-based leathers to high-quality synthetic materials that mimic the look and feel of conventional leather.

Artisan-Inspired, Modern by Design  

Traditional Kolhapuri footwear is known for its distinct handcrafted quality, intricate detailing, and enduring comfort. Korakari has masterfully carried this heritage into its new non-leather line by blending traditional construction methods with contemporary design aesthetics.

The collection features an array of non-leather Kolhapuri sandals and mules — each piece thoughtfully crafted to offer:

Comfort and Durability: Designed for all-day wear without compromising on structure or support.Unique Styles: From bold and modern silhouettes to elegant, minimalist looks that pair effortlessly with ethnic or western outfits.Artisanal Touches: Elements like hand-stitched embellishments and craft-inspired accents echo Korakari’s centuries-old craftsmanship ethos.With multiple styles ranging from everyday wear to statement pieces, the Non-Leather Collection allows wearers to express their individuality — whether they’re dressing up for an occasion or making a style statement in daily life.
