One of the best-known indie shoe brands around, The Sole Sisters showcase handmade weaves and fabrics through their range of footwear.

A Goa-based brand that was started off by Angela and Edwin Pinto, Janota is the Portuguese word for ‘style’. And they infuse plenty of that in their shoes. Even the simplest of designs from Janota will feature elements that are not usually seen in shoes on the street. For example, a pair of bright-red chappals come with horseshoe straps or sea-green ones come with mermaid tails. Do check out their purple Pixie Shoes, they are da bomb.
