About Us
Aavtan began with my passion for tradition. I, Prathamesh Darunkar, was drawn to Kolhapuri chappals, inspiring me to explore leather crafting in Kolhapur, Mumbai, and Pune.
Encouraged by positive feedback, I founded Aavtan—symbolizing openness and creativity. We debuted at a Diwali exhibition, receiving a warm response. Today, we offer a blend of traditional and modern footwear, from Kolhapuris to juttis.
As we build our website, I invite you to join our journey—not just as customers, but as a community that values tradition and innovation.
