Nomads Ikat Classic Red by NIIRA

Walk the world. Wear the craft.

Rooted in heritage and designed for the modern traveller, the Nomads Ikat Classic Red is a celebration of India’s timeless textile artistry and effortless global style. Crafted using authentic ikat fabric and shaped into an easy, everyday espadrille silhouette, this pair is made for those who move with purpose and dress with soul.

Each pair carries the story of handwoven ikat — a centuries-old resist-dye technique known for its distinctive patterns and beautiful imperfections. Set against a lightweight, breathable structure and finished with a natural jute sole, Nomads Ikat Classic blends comfort, culture, and contemporary design in perfect balance.

From sunlit streets to weekend getaways, this is footwear designed for wanderers who appreciate detail, craftsmanship, and authenticity.

The NIIRA Promise

At NIIRA, we work directly with Indian artisans to bring heritage craftsmanship to the global stage. Every product supports living traditions, responsible production, and mindful fashion.

Nomads Ikat Classic is not mass-made. It is thoughtfully crafted — for those who value where things come from and how they are made.

Leather Care: Your NIIRA Kolhapuri Chappals are crafted from premium, natural leather that develops a beautiful patina over time. To maintain their quality:

• Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove dust
• For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap, then air dry naturally
• Apply leather conditioner every few weeks to keep the leather supple
• Avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, or extreme heat

Storage:

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Use shoe trees or stuff with paper to maintain shape
• Keep in a breathable cloth bag to prevent moisture buildup

Breaking In: Handcrafted leather softens and molds to your feet over time. Initial stiffness is normal and will ease with wear, creating a custom fit unique to you.

Natural Variations: As each pair is hand-painted and handcrafted by artisans, slight color variations and natural leather markings are part of the authentic character, not defects.

Repairs: Quality leather can be resoled and repaired. Contact us for artisan repair services to extend the life of your chappals.
