Comfortable. Functional. Vegan. Conscious living for the modern nomad. Born from the bylanes of Delhi and sparked by a love for crafts, Mend is a footwear label redefining the way we look at comfort. Founded by Gunjan Narayanan, Mend is rooted in nostalgia and inspired by India’s vibrant handmade heritage from Kolhapuris that tell stories to soles that carry the memory of many cities. Gunjan’s earliest influences came from places like Delhi Haat and Dastkar, where tradition and creativity coexisted. Her personal style, simple jeans and kurta paired with bold, colourful Kolhapuris, grew into the ethos of the brand. One pair led to another, and soon, Mend was born to bridge the gap between craftsmanship and contemporary comfort. 

Each pair is handcrafted and vegan, using indigenous materials like bamboo from Odisha, jute from Chennai, mashru from Gujarat, and recyclable rubber for the soles. The signature Mend sole offers thrice the cushion of average Indian footwear, making every step feel comfortable and rooted. At Mend, it’s not just about the shoe, it’s about where it comes from and where it can take you. The design language blends bold colours, Indian textures, and quirky inspirations into easy fits you’ll reach for every day. It’s about being flexible and functional with local footwear that hugs your feet and celebrates India’s diverse craft landscape. These are Mend to be for the ones who travel far, live slow, and wear their stories quite literally on their soles.
