Anupam Chappal
Buy the same slipper in five colors, why not? And if Anupam Chappal doesn't have the shade they'll try and make it for you.

If the flat, one toe, leather strap Kolhapuri slipper is what you're on the hunt for, then Anupam Chappal (Hindi for slipper) is your mecca.

Manned by store manager Mehmbood Merchant for around 40 years, they even have Gandhi style slippers and 20 odd shades of fuschia.

All the rage with the St Tropez, St Barths, TheHamptons cognoscenti, who bought them in places like this, for about US$5, why nnot fill a suitcase full for friends.
