ABOUT US

Pode was born from a simple dream — to celebrate artistry through shoes that speak without words. Founded by Sapna, an Indian woman with a deep love for tradition and design, Pode is her ode to heritage, femininity, and fearless self-expression.

Raised around the rich textures of Indian textiles and the rhythms of hand crafted beauty, Sapna envisioned a brand that brings the elegance of Indian craftsmanship to the modern world. With roots in Punjab and a heart that beats for global style, Pode reimagines the traditional jutti for today’s woman — bold, complex, and utterly unforgettable.

What began as a personal journey has become a shared movement — one that connects centuries-old artistry with the rhythm of contemporary life.

NOTE FROM FOUNDER

Hi, I’m Sapna — founder of Pode.


Growing up in India, I was surrounded by incredible craftsmanship — vibrant
embroidery, handwoven fabrics, stories stitched into every thread. I wanted to create
something that honored that legacy but felt relevant to women around the world.


Pode is my love letter to culture, identity, and creative freedom. It's for the woman who
leads with heart, embraces her roots, and walks her own way — whether that’s in New
York or New Delhi.

Thank you for being here. I hope each pair brings you comfort, joy, and the courage to
stand tall in your truth.

Sapna

Pode is more than footwear — it’s a mindset. Each pair is thoughtfully designed for the
woman who leads with soul and dresses with purpose.

From power meetings to weekend getaways, Pode lets you walk your path with comfort,
color, and confidence. Our signature style blends artisanal detail with unapologetic
personality — because we believe fashion should be both expressive and deeply
personal.

Our inspirations? Women who dared to be different — from Frida Kahlo’s fearless
creativity to Rosa Parks’ quiet courage, from Princess Diana’s grace to Amrita Sher-
Gil’s artistic rebellion. These are the stories that shape our soles.

CONSCIOUS CRAFTSMANSHIP

Luxury should never come at the cost of compassion. At Pode, we work closely with
artisan communities, prioritizing ethical practices, fair wages, and sustainable materials wherever possible.

We champion slow fashion, designing timeless pieces meant to be loved, lived in, and passed down. From hand-embroidery to beadwork, every detail is intentional — nothing is mass produced, and everything is made with care.

A LEGACY REIMAGINED

Every pair is handcrafted in Punjab by our team of skilled artisans — many of whom
have passed down their craft for generations. We honor this legacy by blending traditional techniques with modern aesthetics, making Pode not just beautiful, but meaningful.

When you wear Pode, you wear a piece of living heritage — stitched with purpose,
made to last.
