Original Amdar Kapshi Kolhapuri Chappal – Handcrafted Rugged Leather Footwear for Men

Step Into a Legacy of Power and Prestige

Elevate your traditional wardrobe with the Amdar Kapshi (Aamdar Kapasi), the undisputed king of Kolhapuri footwear. Often revered as the “MLA Chappal,” this rugged masterpiece is favored by leaders and royalty for its commanding presence and unbreakable durability. Whether you are navigating a busy workday or attending a celebration, the Amdar Kapshi ensures you stand out with dignity and style.

Why You’ll Love the Amdar Kapshi:

• Commanding Silhouette: Featuring the distinct Senapati (broad knife) or Moja front, this design offers superior toe protection and a broad, royal profile that pairs perfectly with ethnic attire or denim.
• Masterful Veni Braiding: The upper belt showcases exquisite Veni work—complex, hand-woven leather strings that require days of skilled artistry, ensuring no two pairs are exactly alike.
• The “Royal Sound”: Experience tradition you can hear. High-end versions of this chappal produce the signature rhythmic “creak” (Kar-Kar sound) as you walk, a hallmark of authentic, layered leather craftsmanship.
• Built to Last: Constructed with a thick, three-part leather base, these sandals are engineered for extreme durability, easily withstanding daily wear on rough terrain for years.

Authentic Craftsmanship & Sustainable Materials

We believe in fashion that honors the earth. The Amdar Kapshi is strictly GI-tagged and handcrafted, made from premium vegetable-tanned buffalo or cow hide using ancient, eco-friendly techniques.

• Natural Tanning: Processed using organic Myrobalan (Harda) and Babul bark for a rich, earthy tone that deepens beautifully over time.
• Zero-Nail Construction: Every inch is hand-stitched using strong leather chords (sut). There are no nails in the core structure, maximizing flexibility and comfort.
• Labor of Love: It takes artisans over 48 hours of intense manual labor to cut, dye, braid, and stitch a single pair, making this not just footwear, but a piece of Indian heritage.

How to Style & Care
Pair these rugged brown leather sandals with a crisp white Kurta Pyjama for a classic political look, or wear them with straight-fit jeans for a fusion aesthetic. To maintain the leather’s suppleness, avoid direct water exposure and occasionally polish with natural wax or oil.
