OUR STORY
SENTIMENTS finds its roots in places where time moves a bit slower, manifested from the days of handwritten playlists, telephone diaries, and your dad’s effortlessly cool Sunday shoes, refined for the present with the energy of a timeless past.

Born from the creative union of two distinct minds, Yogesh Sen from the intricately carved town of Khajuraho and Aditya Kumar from the ceremonial ghats of Varanasi, both were shaped at NIFT, New Delhi.
We create gender-neutral footwear that combines refined forms and the soul of retro Indian elegance. Contoured silhouettes, timeless colours and textures that blend effortlessly with streetwear, smart casual, or tailored formality. Our design draws from India’s secluded tribal artistry, crafts and artforms where art isn’t taught but is passed down, making every motif and embellishment a quiet signature of belonging. We are a mindful reinterpretation of a legacy, bringing to life the souls of unseen communities, fading crafts, and forgotten narratives through contemporary design.
The name ‘SENTIMENTS’ is drawn from the emotions, memories, thoughts, and quiet perspectives that live beneath India’s diverse cultures and traditions. It speaks to what is felt, inherited, and silently shaped across generations through lived experience.
We are a living expression of heritage, where craftsmanship and progression come together. Footwear becomes our canvas, heritage our palette, and every step you take continues a story that was almost lost.

Brand Philosophy
The world once called India the Golden Bird, not as praise, but as recognition. A civilisation built on art, craft, culture, and community so rich that the world once came to us. That legacy never disappeared. It was left behind.
That changes with Sentiments India.
“A nation’s culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.” — Mahatma Gandhi
A return, not only as nostalgia, but as continuation.
Craft and communities, translated into forms for today.
Each pair is handcrafted for hours by skilled artisans. Each pair supports a craft, a family, a legacy. Overlooked for decades and desired always. Indian heritage was never meant to fade. It was meant to evolve with time, with us.
This is Sentiments India.
Proudly and mindfully made in India.
