A luxury women’s footwear brand born in India, Gulraj creates handcrafted pieces designed to celebrate your most meaningful moments, from weddings to everyday celebrations.

Every pair at Gulraj is handcrafted with intention, shaped by artisans whose stories, skills, and traditions flow into every stitch.

Gulraj was born from two names that shaped my world - Gulab and Rajpati, my grandmothers. Their love, strength, and timeless grace became the heartbeat of this brand. “Gulraj” means a valley of flowers, and that’s exactly what I wanted to create - footwear that feels like a soft bloom in your day, crafted with care, colour, and character.  

Our shoes are designed in the vibrant energy of Varanasi, inspired by cultures from around the world & assembled by craftsman from across India. Every pair at Gulraj is handcrafted with intention, shaped by artisans whose stories, skills, and traditions flow into every stitch.

Handcrafting perfection in each pair!

At Gulraj, we believe that what we wear is best made by hand. Each design uses multiple process checks and sampling to bring you only the best.  Our designs represent hundreds of artisans’ skills and creativity, a true reflection of hours of relentless handwork, patience and creative brilliance through pieces that are an absolute statement for your wardrobe.

​With an equal emphasis on design and functionality, we believe in making our footwears feel stylish, contemporary, comfortable and uniquely yours.

Our designs are meant to be more than just footwear - they are pieces of emotion, memory, and artistry. A little modern, a little nostalgic, and always made to make you feel something. 

Founders Note 

Hi! I'm Shreya Dwivedi - the brainchild & dreamer behind Gulraj. What started as a simple idea back in the final year of college grew into the brand now known as Gulraj. This brand began as a tribute to the two women who shaped my world—Gulab and Rajpati, my grandmothers. Their strength, grace, and endless warmth became the foundation of everything I wanted Gulraj to stand for. 

Gulraj, meaning a valley of flowers, reflects what I’ve always believed footwear should feel like—soft, joyful, full of colour, and made with intention. 

I’ve always felt that shoes aren’t just an accessory—they walk with you through your moments, your milestones, and your memories. My hope is that when you wear Gulraj, you don’t just feel stylish—you feel seen, celebrated, and connected to something meaningful. 

Love Always,
Shreya
