About 9LC
Some shoes are manufactured. Ours are created.
9 Lives Creations is a small team of artisans based in North Kolkata, India. crafting handmade footwear that moves with your body — not against it. We were among the first makers in India to bring barefoot and Tabi footwear to life, long before it became a conversation.
Every pair starts with a belief: that your feet deserve shoes built around them, not the other way around. We work with natural materials, upcycled denim, and reclaimed tyre soles — giving new life to what others discard, and building something that lasts in the process.
No factories. No assembly lines. Just hands, craft, and an obsession with fit.
Each shoe is made to your measurements, from our workshop in North Kolkata to your feet — wherever in the world you are.
Give discarded materials a second chance through thoughtful design and skilled craftsmanship.
Our products are handcrafted in India using reclaimed denim, surplus fabrics, leather offcuts, repurposed tyres, and other rescued materials whenever possible.
Every creation is slightly unique because no two recovered materials are exactly alike.
We don't chase fast fashion.
We create products that age beautifully, reduce waste, and celebrate individuality.
🌍 Made for Real Feet, Real People
Every pair of 9LC shoes is made for a real person, to their exact measurements. Here's what that looks like in the wild.
