Venii Launches Premium All-Leather Open Footwear Brand in India
A new shoe company called Venii has started selling special sandals in India.
They are called 'open footwear,' which means shoes like sandals and slippers.
These shoes are made from real leather that comes from Argentina.
The company is based in Bengaluru, a big city in India.
Venii wants to make comfortable flat shoes that women in India like to wear.
Sometimes it is hard to find flat shoes that are both pretty and comfy.
The shoes have a special braided pattern on them.
That pattern is like the braids on Kolhapuri chappals, a traditional Indian shoe.
Workers braid the leather by hand.
People can buy the shoes online at Venii's website and on Myntra.
Bengaluru-based Venii launched its debut all-leather open footwear range in August 2026.
The shoes are made in India with full-grain Argentinian leather uppers, an all-leather sole, and an embedded anti-skid rubber insert.
India's footwear market was valued at approximately USD 20.67 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 47.53 billion by 2034.
Venii aims to fill the gap for a premium homegrown open-footwear brand, focusing on flat, comfortable designs for women.
The launch range is priced from approximately ₹4,595 to ₹5,295 and is available at veniiworld.com and on Myntra.

Quotes
Unnati Sinha
Founder and CEO of Venii
“"Open footwear is something every Indian wears almost every day, yet the country has never really had a homegrown brand built specifically around it at a premium level. That's the gap we built Venii to fill - leather-first, comfortable enough for all-day wear, and designed to move between Indian and western wardrobes without feeling out of place in either."”
