Penelope Chilvers is a brand that takes pride in quality over quantity approach to production. Made in Spain, their shoes and boots are made in partnership with skilled local artisans to create unique pieces that are made to last. The makers have great knowledge and skills that have been passed down for generations.

In celebration of the Ranthambhore tigers, the first piece in the collection is the SUJÁN Slipper. Co-designed by Anjali Singh and Penelope, the slipper is made of a deep green velvet inspired by the Ranthambhore forest and embellished with an embroidery inspired by one of Anjali’s favourite tigers, T3, in gold thread. The slipper is lined in a beautiful burnt orange leather give a nod to the big cat itself. The slippers are hand made by an atelier in Spain that works exclusively with Penelope and her team.

The slipper is designed for both men and women and is the perfect shoe to slip on for those post safari cocktails and nights around the campfire. They will also enhance and enrich any evening look. “It has been great fun designing this small collection with Penelope. As someone who wears a lot of her boots on safari it seemed the perfect synergy to bring our two worlds together. We hope that the collection will not only inspire customers to come on a SUJÁN safari adventure in India but also to support conservation mission when they travel and shop by choosing brands that are making a difference.” Anjali Singh, Co Owner and Creative Director SUJÁN.

Our latest design collaboration

The SUJÁN Riding Boot is the second style in our conservation collaboration with Penelope Chilvers. The boot is an equestrian style, cut close to the leg, with an elegant silhouette and a grip rubber sole, making it the perfect boot to wear when riding through the spellbinding Jawai wilderness. Anjali shared her design process of SUJÁN JAWAI camp, her use of colour and textiles that she incorporated into the interiors and experience with Penelope. It was clear to them both that the vibrant scarlet red seen on the turbans of the local Rabari tribe that roam the Jawai wilderness we have been protecting for leopards for the past decade would be the perfect starting point. Penelope used this red as the focal point for the boot design, to create a boot that could accompany our guests as they safari with us on horseback through the magical Jawai landscape. This timeless boot is perfect for riding adventures in the wild or days in the city thanks to its elevated and sleek design. Once again each boot is handcrafted by Spanish artisans in sustainably sourced leather. We thank you for your support in helping us to protect the endangered big cats in India, along with their natural habitat for future generations. 10% of each sale from the collection is kindly being directly donated to our conservation projects in Rajasthan. Together we are making a difference!
