ABOUT US

Legacy in Every Step

Calden isn’t just a brand – it’s a journey forward, built on a legacy that began in 1935, when Mr. Harjivandas Chavda, a pioneering shoemaker, opened his first footwear store in Raja Mehta ni Pol, Ahmedabad.

Over the next nine decades, the family business grew from a small shop into a trusted name in Gujarat’s footwear industry, expanding into multiple retail locations and becoming a leading supplier to major retail stores across the state.

Today, Calden is a new chapter in that journey, a modern brand shaped by 90 years of experience, expertise, and a deep understanding of Indian feet and Indian lifestyle.

Every Calden pair is handcrafted in India, combining artisanal skills with thoughtful design and modern comfort innovation. We exist to make footwear that feels like it was made just for you, because in a fast-paced world, comfort is a quiet kind of power.
