What Makes It Awesome
Many of the footwear have adorned the feet of top actors and fashion designers like Manish Malhotra, Rohit Bal, Tarun Tahaliani, Ranbir Kapoor, Fawad Khan, Deepika Padukone, Sonakshi Sinha.
Spread across three rooms, the decor of Rohan’s store is a blend of Rajasthani and Middle-Eastern. The shoes, stacked neatly on the floor along the walls or kept in the shelves, blend perfectly with the decor which bears a dark beige and brown colour scheme. Open from noon to 8 pm, walk-ins are most welcome. A pair of shoes from this place can literally make or break your look. Rohan pays as much attention to each pair created by the brand, as it requires to create a couture dress. The elaborate surface ornamentation using intricate zardozi increases the luxury quotient, while keeping comfort in mind. From chappals, wedges to jutis (mojris, nagras) and even formal lace-up, there’s a perfect pair awaiting every feet.
It’s best to keep a month in hand from the time you select a design — as these are customised pairs and take time and effort to produce. A trial is scheduled around the third week before the shoe is delivered around the fourth week. If you are very lucky and your feet fit into the shoes which are available at the store, (there’s only one pair for each design) you might want to pick it up.
Pro-Tip
The brand doesn’t believe in online sales as sizes differ from brand to brand. For a Rohan Arora pair, you need to visit the store and place your order. The brand ships across the globe. Prices are on request.
