If a pair of Kolhapuris is your go-to footwear, then you’re going to love this age-old shop at Colaba Causeway that specialises in selling colourful pairs of these awesome chappals.
You’ve probably seen Anupam Chappals near Leopold Cafe & Bar many a time, but you’ve probably missed out on seeing their amazing Kolhapuri chappal collection- something they specialise in and is made very clear on their board. Run by Mehboob Merchant and Sunil Solanki, this shop is about 60-years-old and gets the amazing, superb quality Kolhapuris made from Athani, a small district neat Belgaum that’s about three hours ahead of Kolhapur. They have a vast collection of Kolhapuris- all available in traditional and modern designs and vibrant colours (including antique gold and metallic silver).
Given that the shop has been around for six decades, they have their share of regular customers who swear by the quality of their chappals. Personally, we’ve been shopping from here for years and their chappals last up to a year or longer if used judiciously. The Kolhapuris for women are priced between INR 400 to INR 650, while men’s Kolhapuris are priced between INR 750 to INR 950.
So without wasting any more time, go get yourself some amazing Kolhapuri chappals to team up with your vibrant and funky outfits (because these never go out of style)
