THE CAI STORY

CAI is the brainchild of Aradhana & Dhanraj Minawala, two entrepreneurs who dared to take an unprecedented business stride, and shaped an extraordinary trend in the footwear industry. The CAI store was launched in 2015 with the sole purpose of providing non-leather footwear locally and globally to the trend-conscious at affordable prices.

With an emphasis on aesthetics and functionality, CAI incorporates an eclectic collection ranging from open and closed flats to heels and wedges in multiple colours, patterns, and embellishments.

WHAT SETS CAI APART

Vegan Leather

Crafted using thoughtfully chosen vegan materials that balance comfort, durability & elegance.

PETA Certified

Made with cruelty-free practices and responsibly sourced materials that align with conscious craftsmanship.

Handcrafted

Each pair is carefully handcrafted by skilled artisans, bringing precision and attention to every detail.

Eco Packaging

Thoughtfully packed using reduced-plastic and recyclable materials to minimise environmental impact.

PHILOSOPHY

We create aesthetic yet functional footwear that distinctively sets us apart from the norm. We prioritize customer satisfaction with a deep emphasis on excellence in quality above everything.

At CAI, we put in a lot of effort and ‘soul’ into our designs. Choosing the right colour and material helps us make the perfect pair of shoes for you!

CRAFTMANSHIP

Every shoe is thoroughly checked and tested - it’s comfort and durability is measured for a month before its launch in the market.

CAI strives to achieve mastery in every aspect of creation and provides women around the world shoes of the highest quality.
