  • Ponnuswamy is one of those extincting indigenous leather craftsmen in Kumarapalayam. This village in Sathyamangalam, was once famous for their leather crafts. Almost 150 houses in Komarapalayam were making traditional leather Chappals before 10 years which is now less than ten people.
    See the art and labor behind these traditional leather chappals.

    This guy!! What an artist! He makes it look so simple. That's the mark of a true master. I wonder when he started making sandals? They're beautiful too. I am in the middle of making a simple pair of moccasins. It's so hard! My hat is off to this gentleman.

    I loved and worked in India for a year. I must have clocked more than 10,000 miles, travelling extensively, partially due to my work and partially due to my personal curiosity. Artisans with their craftsmanship is amazing. Dexterity of these people is mind boggling. To think that this man's ancestors go back to 10,000 years living in that place passing technology from father to son...Tamil Nadu is original India. Most inhabitants are the original inhabitants. Great Craftsmanship ...keep up the good work. We, in Europe, have lost the art of dexterity ...his fingers are nimble ...

    Will sell for just enough to feed his family for one day end that's because so many will bargain & haggle with him, yet if this was sold by a top designer brand people wouldn't think twice for paying 20X the amount he's going to sell this on for.

      To help these people it is our duty to but there products,
      Buy indian products,
      But instead we go blindly for adidas nike just to flex,
      Fo not play the blame game,
      If you find local goods buy them,
      You never bargain at a adidas store nor online,
      Dont bargain with them,
      By buying from them you qre funding the country,
      Be proud if you wear india,
      Buy khadi products and atleast have one khadi products in your wardrobe

    My Son-in-law is from Mexico (legally immigrated here at 4y/o 40 years ago, & all are now VERY PROUD LEGAL American citizens) & he, my daughter & my grandchildren go to Mexico every year for vacation; EVERY year they beg me to go, but I refuse, & stay home & care for all the animals & home. This summer I might go; I told my daughter if she'll pay for me a pair of brown sandals made for my feet, I'll go. She ecstatic!
    I have very hard-to-fit feet; I'm Native American, & (most of) our feet are very narrow in the heel & wide at the toes, plus I have extremely high arches & very VERY low profile ( like a triangle & long & skinny) too. As it's difficult to get comfortable shoes that fit & won't fall off (low profile makes flip-flops 'baggy' & extremely loose on top), I'd love to have one pair of brown leather sandals that fit me!! I'm going to Mexico!!!! LOL!
