Funky sneakers with a face built into them, one printed eye per side on a cream panel above a row of white stitched teeth, and a cut claw laid over black leather so the black shows through the gaps. Colourful shoes assembled from separate pieces rather than printed flat, sneakers with red binding the whole collar, and red sneakers on a brass ring at the toe.
TOTEM wears a face, and it is assembled rather than printed on. The eye is a panel. The teeth are stitched. The claw is cut from suede and laid over black leather so the black reads as the gaps between the fingers. A brass ring sits at the toe tip holding a strap that runs the length of the forefoot, the only piece of hardware on the front of any shoe in this line. Handcrafted in India, made to order.
Details:
Upper: red suede across the throat and lace facings, the forepart wings sweeping over each side of the toe, the centre toe strap, the frames around each eye panel, the rear quarter panels and the cut-out claw appliqué
Smooth black leather on the large side quarter panels, the toe cap, the tongue, the under-eye bands and the collar surround
Off-white printed panels carrying one cartoon eye per side, with pinked sawtooth strips running between the black quarter and the red suede, and a chevron panel wrapping the heel
Smooth red leather rolled as a binding along the full collar line, around the heel and forward down both lace facings
Antique brass D ring at the toe tip anchoring the centre strap, and a brass dome stud on each heel panel
White contrast stitching across the black panels, with toothed stitch rows beneath each eye
Lace-up through punched holes with no metal eyelets
Unisex. Men's EU39 to EU46, women's EU36 to EU41
Made in India, handcrafted and made to order
Care: Brush the suede gently with a soft brush along the nap. Wipe the leather panels with a dry cloth, keep away from excess moisture, and store in a cool, dry place.

They are a great pair of shoes that look striking when you are wearing them with a traditional outfit and they fit great right out of the box. I really love how comfortable they were from the first wear itself and a lot of people have already complemented these shoes. They make your entire outfit more striking and if you have an outgoing or slightly bold personality, I would definitely recommend these to go along with your ethnic and traditional dresses. They are a killer pair for an event or a function
The shoes are so hard, the most uncomfortable pair, unable to walk. Its tearing my skin. I am in a lot of pain. Is it not meant to be comfortable? Is it just for the looks ?
I recently purchased a pair of shoes from Banjaran Sinha, and I’m genuinely impressed with the overall quality and craftsmanship. The design beautifully blends traditional aesthetics with modern comfort, making the shoes stand out while still being practical for everyday wear.
The material feels premium and durable, and the finishing details show a lot of attention and care. What I appreciated most is how comfortable they are even after wearing them for long hours—no pinching or stiffness, which is often a concern with handcrafted footwear.
Packaging and delivery were also handled professionally, adding to the overall positive experience. If you’re looking for stylish, well-made shoes that reflect a touch of cultural elegance, Banjaran Sinha is definitely worth considering. Highly recommended! 👞✨
Tbh i loved the design and material, giving 4 star only coz my left foot pair was bit tight in comfort compared to right one. But again worth the pain💓
Design wise its good. Looking forward for the lasting of the product since this is my 1st buy and had to replaced after just wearing twice,so was disappointed but due to replace am little confident for the sale service.
Big edit- i wore these shoes for 2 times only and they started chipping as can be seen in the pictures. It’s unfortunate I carried them to a holiday and now I can’t wear them. They have lost shape as well.
Initial review- They are so comfortable and stylish. I wore them for whole day and it felt like I am wearing nothing. Everyone complemented my shoes and it was a good experience.
Exceptional Product & Even Better Service!
I recently ordered a pair of shoes from Banjaaran Studio for my wedding. Initially, the size I received was slightly small. However, I raised an exchange request within a few hours of receiving the parcel, and I must say their team handled the situation very professionally.
The exchange process was smooth, and what truly impressed me was their effort to prioritize my request. Despite the handcrafted production timeline, they ensured that I received the correct size well before my function.
The shoes fit perfectly, and the craftsmanship is beautiful. You can genuinely feel the quality and detailing in the product.
A big thank you to the team for understanding the importance of the occasion and delivering not just a product, but peace of mind.
Highly recommended for both quality and customer service!
Absolutely loved the shoes, the design the comfort and finishing is just amazing. I love the fact that Indian companies are doing such amazing job and providing high quality goods.
Absolutely perfect, love the shoes…great fit, great comfort, and great quality.
On top of that, the customer service was genuinely amazing. It’s rare to see things done this smoothly and thoughtfully.
Kudos to the team, and thank you for a wonderful experience!
Me and my fiancé matched with the design but different style of shoes and couldn’t be happier. They’re a bit tough but I’m guessing they will break in. They’re are beautiful!
