In 1991, over cutting chai in Bombay (because espresso hadn’t yet arrived), a man decided shoes this good shouldn’t stay a family secret. If footwear could spark whispers in living rooms, why not across the entire city? Naturally, he called it Gossip.
What began with five craftsmen in a modest workshop has grown into a hundred-strong family — artisans, designers, and perfectionists who don’t bother with hierarchy because real craft doesn’t care for titles. What it does care for: leather that whispers, moulds shaped like sculpture, and details only noticed by those with taste.
Every pair of Gossip shoes carries the founder’s uncompromising values — ethical business, respect for the hands that make them, and a refusal to bow to the ordinary. Inspired by travel, architecture, and nature — not TikTok algorithms — our styles are timeless not because they ignore fashion, but because they outlive it.
Bombay may call it “handmade.” We prefer “quiet luxury.” Slip into a pair of Gossip, and you’ll know immediately why others try so hard to copy — and why they fail. Because when you wear Gossip, you don’t just slip into shoes. You step into a story the city has been telling — and whispering about — for over three decades.
