Heyy y’all. I have a little something new new for you J I had a chance to connect with the good folks at Fizzy Goblet all the way in the motherland. Pretty awesome, right? I love Indian fashion, the prints, embroidery, the rich history and traditions that continue to inspire designs. One thing that makes Indian fashion unique is companies like Fizzy Goblet, one of India’s favorite handcrafted jutti designers. They are all about mixing the new with the old for a fun, contemporary look. Launched just six years ago, Fizzy Goblet is making waves in the Indian footwear market and has been featured in magazines like Elle India.
Tell us about Fizzy Goblet? We use bright colors and we make bold statements. We’re about subtle textures, intricate patterns and patent prints. Fizzy G is for the curious and experimental, for the light hearted and the passionate, we are for everyday adventures, taken one step at a time.
Fizzy Goblet is a such a fun, unique name, how did you come up with it? A love for Harry potter, wine and all things fun.
What has been your biggest “wow” since you launched Fizzy Goblet? I think every time a customer comes back to get another pair or tell us how much they love their Fizzy Gs, is a wow moment.
What surprises you most about your brand and what you have been able to accomplish? The fact people are so open and in fact hungry to try new concepts and designs that we set out to create.
The design team is very creative. I love the various styles, mix of prints and materials. How did the brogue juttis come about? It goes with the whole brand concept of merging the old with the new and the traditional with the contemporary. They are essentially juttis which have been worn in India for years, but we wanted to add another modern turn by using the brogue design but still use Indian fabrics like Ikat to create a completely new style.
Is this your most popular style? Yes, it is one of our more popular designs.
What would you say inspires the design team? Anything and everything! Inspiration lies in something as simple as a whimsical looking tea set or a colour combination spotted on a window on the streets of Bombay. It could literally be anything.
What new prints and styles should we look out for this yer? Playful is a key direction for us in 2016 with an emphasis on boho chic with interesting, unexpected elements.
For the young designers and brand entrepreneurs what is the best piece of advice that you would like to share with them? Stay true to what you believe in in terms of your design aesthetic. Don’t blindly follow trends.
Wisdom from a true fashion guru. Thanks Fizzy G! If you’d like to order a pair, they do have international shipping. Cheers to mixing fits for Indian inspired looks!
