Flip flops have somehow moved from being beach accessories to be everyday footwear, trendy and chic. What’s more, they’re inspiring whacky and creative designs that promise major fun.
Take Chumbak, for instance. This quirky, kitschy label has a line of flip flops for men and women, which sport outrageously funny designs — think auto rickshaws or a terrified Red Riding Hood, an Indian couple in traditional, folk attire or even a pair that is testament to your love for beer! At anywhere between Rs495 and Rs595 a pair, these retail both from stores like Mother Earth, Crossword etc and from the online retail segment on their portal.
Yellow Button in Indiranagar is another store worth checking out.
They turn the formal look on its head with a brand new line of leather flip flops that go really well with Indian formals and they push for an edgy yet sophisticated look. “I am basically trying to redesign flip flops by giving them an image makeover. Most of the flip flops are either handmade or hand painted. I try to have fun with designs and make them look like a fun accessory”, says a very creative, Madhavi Rongala, owner of Yellow Button. And Rongala’s line of revamped Croc look-alikes is totally worth checking out!
And while you’re at it, log on to www.inkfruit.com. They have a really cool collection and priced between Rs200 and Rs400 a pair, they’re worth it. The Beetles — with graphics of the bugs, or the Badman that is a spoof on the Superman colours and logo or even the Dragon pair, each pair is edgily designed.
So, go ahead and splurge on that funky pair. There’s plenty to pick from and with the plethora of designs, you’ll surely find a pair that reflects your own sense of style.
