Chief Operations & Creative Officer at Mohinders - San Francisco, California, United States
Mohinders is a small shoe business based in San Francisco, Mumbai, and Athani, India. We're a small-but-mighty team of four: 2 in San Francisco; 1 in Amsterdam and 1 in Mumbai. Our designs are deeply rooted in the shoemaking traditions of Northern Karnataka, a region in India.We work with families of 3rd-and 4th-generation shoemakers and leather tanners. We strive to uphold respectful design and sustainability from start-to-finish. This means heirloom, regional processes, intentional choices to reduce waste and use lower-impact materials, and creating shoes that last and age beautifully. We work with ten different groups of master shoemakers, all cooperative members based in Athani. Most are families who come from generations of master shoemakers, and work in neighboring workshops near a shared cooperative office and meeting space.Learn more about us over on our website and follow us on Instagram @mohindersshoes!
