In dit nummer

Dear Readers, India’s footwear and accessories market is striding confidently into a new era. India is now the world’s second-largest producer and consumer of footwear—a feat made possible by strong domestic demand, a youthful demographic, and expanding urban aspirations. With nearly 95% of production consumed domestically, the country is not just manufacturing at scale—it’s evolving its taste.
The shift is evident: from function to fashion, from basics to brand-led choices. Footwear is no longer just utility—it’s identity. This transformation is being fueled by the rise of a style-savvy, digital-first generation that sees sneakers, sandals, and boots as expressions of personality, ambition, and even sustainability. Accessories like bags and wallets are also following this trajectory—moving beyond practicality to become lifestyle statements.
