Situated in the historic city of Kolhapur, surrounded by its rich blend of culture and heritage, lies the inspiration for Paaytaan. Our journey began with a profound appreciation for the timeless beauty and exceptional craftsmanship of Kolhapuri chappals. These iconic footwear pieces, once adorned by royalty, have been handcrafted for generations by skilled artisans who have perfected their art through years of dedication. Paaytaan was born from a deep-rooted desire to preserve and promote this exquisite craft. We recognized the need to bring these masterpieces to a global stage, showcasing their elegance and ensuring that the artisans behind them receive the recognition and support they deserve. Our vision was clear: to create a brand that embodies the royal heritage of Kolhapuri chappals while providing a platform for local craftsmen to shine. At the heart of Paaytaan is a commitment to honoring the artisans of Kolhapur. Each pair of chappals we offer is a testament to their unparalleled skill and dedication. By working directly with these craftsmen, we ensure that their traditional techniques are preserved and that they receive fair compensation for their exceptional work. Our artisans are the soul of Paaytaan, and their stories are woven into every stitch and detail of our products.
