The love for shoes is pure and blissful just like the love for Belgium chocolates and the fondness for fine leather.
Being environmental friendly while being fashionable is a wishful combination on every fashion lover’s bucket list.
For all animal lovers and dedicated vegan lovers, we have something, which might just come out to be a surprise for you. Devika Srimal Bapna started KANABIS, which is a first of its kind fashionable, high quality, PETA approved vegan footwear brand for quality conscious women.
Living in a country like India where cow is considered holy, worshipping the cow is something every Indian would consider his duty. We have YouTube witnessing the ill treatment and torture, which cows go through to produce that leather that we flaunt shamelessly. It’s rather sad that we are still not spreading the required awareness needed to drive change. There is an utmost need to spread awareness against animal cruelty so that people can be well informed and then make ethical decisions. There is a need for a bigger platforms and authorities to take some action and make an impact.
When we asked the founder, how she thought of starting up this brand, she said, “As an animal lover and PETA volunteer, I gave up leather few years ago and had a tough time finding good non-leather shoes that were stylish, good quality and affordable. I noticed the unstructured footwear industry in India- we either have the non-Indian brands that are expensive and mostly do leather shoes or the unorganized/unbranded segment where quality, price, make etc. is questionable. It was almost a light-bulb moment when I thought I should start my own brand. And thus how KANABIS was born.”
Experimenting with varied fabrics like canvas, jute, straw, lace, cork amongst others, Kanabis gives you ultimate comfort along with style and elegance. Adding on to the their niche collection, the brand has also launched a range of canvas belts.
Even though the brand has just set its foot in the industry, the response has been electric and appreciated by all animal lovers. Kanabis has spread its wings pan India through their online platform while giving an option to visit their warehouse in case one wants to check out their complete collection.
There is a difference when you speak of change and when you actively participate in creating an impact. That’s what Kanabis is all about. Kanabis is trying to spread awareness and bring about a social change through a conscious product, which exhilarates the love for humanity.
