The Peshwa Poona-Shape Kapashi Kolhapuri (Rich Walnut Brown)
Where Royal Heritage Meets Sharp Aristocracy.
Step into a legacy. Crafted entirely by hand by generational artisans in Maharashtra, this premium Kapashi Kolhapuri features the distinctive, sleek Poona (Pune) Shape—a sharp, pointed toe silhouette that instantly refines your posture and elevates your stance.
Built on the legendary Kapashi double-sole foundation, this pair offers unparalleled structural durability without compromising on elegance. The central T-strap features an intricate, hand-woven leather braid, beautifully contrasted by a signature crimson wool pom-pom (gonda)—the definitive mark of authentic Maratha footwear.
Whether you are walking down the festive aisle or making a statement at a cultural event, this pair ensures your presence is felt before you even speak.
Why Choose the Poona-Shape Kapashi?
The Sharp 'Poona' Cut: A sleek, tapered toe-box design that looks incredibly sharp and premium compared to standard rounded chappals.
Double-Layered Kapashi Sole: Hand-stitched with indigenous leather cords (venis), offering a heavy-duty, long-lasting foundation that molds organically to the shape of your feet.
100% Vegetable-Tanned Leather: Made using premium, chemical-free leather that breathes easily and darkens beautifully into a rich, personal patina over time.
The Signature "Creak": Features the authentic, traditional leather-on-leather sound that has symbolized high status and royalty for centuries.
