The Karigar Light
Men | Leather Kolhapuri Chappal

Meet Your Summer Soulmate.

You know that feeling? The first real day of summer. The sun feels different on your skin. Your shoulders drop, your pace slows, and your spirit instantly feels lighter. Your footwear should match that feeling. Introducing The Karigar Light Kolhapuri crafted not just for your feet, but for that specific, sun-drenched state of mind.

We asked our artisans in Kolhapur to capture the essence of light itself in leather. The result is this beautiful, warm honey hue that seems to glow from within. This is the classic chappal, reimagined in a shade that whispers of sun-bleached beaches, golden hour, and effortless days. Slip them on, and feel that instant connection to ease and adventure. This is the weightless freedom you've been searching for.

You’ll love them because they’re pure, unfiltered joy:

They’re Sunshine, Captured: That beautiful light tan hue isn’t just a color; it’s a mood. It’s optimism you can wear.

Featherlight Freedom: At just 320 grams, it’s like you’re barely wearing anything at all. Just you, the earth, and nothing in between.

A Story You Can Wear: Every stitch is a testament to the ‘Karigar’ (the artisan). This is heritage craftsmanship, designed for making your own modern memories.

The Instant Style Elevator: This warm, neutral tone is a style chameleon. It pairs with literally everything in your warm-weather wardrobe, adding a touch of intelligent craftsmanship to your most relaxed looks.

How to style them: 

Imagine waking up at a beachside villa. You pull on your favorite tailored shorts and a breezy linen shirt. The Karigar Lights are on your feet the perfect finishing touch that’s both stylish and surrenderfully comfortable. Picture a weekend getaway. They’re the only shoes you pack, effortlessly transitioning from a day of exploring local markets to an evening of laughter at a rooftop cafe. They look perfect with your cotton trousers, your favorite denim cut-offs, or even thrown on barefoot after a dip in the water.

This is for the light-chaser. The memory-maker. The man who believes his style should feel as good as it looks.

Step into the light. Your adventure awaits.

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.
