The New Delhi-based women’s footwear brand brings together handcrafted detailing, advanced cushioning and distinctive design across heels, flats, platforms and occasion footwear.
NEW DELHI, INDIA – Luxury footwear is often judged at first glance. Its true measure, however, is revealed hours later – in the quality of its construction, the confidence of every step and whether the wearer still wants to keep it on.
That idea sits at the heart of Windlust, an Indian women’s footwear brand created for customers who want statement design without accepting discomfort as part of the experience.
From sculpted heels and embellished flats to contemporary mules, platforms and wedges, Windlust approaches footwear as both an expression of personal style and an object that must perform in real life. The result is a collection that feels polished and occasion-ready while remaining grounded in practical wearability.
Rather than using luxury only as a description of appearance, the brand places equal emphasis on the details a customer feels but may not immediately see: underfoot cushioning, secure construction, balanced silhouettes, hand-finished surfaces and attentive after-sales support.
“Luxury should not exist only in a photograph. It should reveal itself in the way a pair is made, the way it feels after several hours and the confidence of knowing that the brand remains accessible after the purchase.”
– Rishab Bahl, Founder, Windlust
Each Windlust pair is handcrafted, with collections moving from restrained everyday designs to fully embellished occasion footwear. The visual language is deliberately varied but recognisable: refined shapes, luminous finishes, crystal and pearl accents, contemporary proportions and details intended to feel distinctive rather than mass-produced.
Luxury, reconsidered from the inside out
Comfort is treated as part of the design process rather than a feature added at the end. Windlust’s multi-layer DenseFoam cushioning combines three layers of high-density cushioning to create a softer and more supportive underfoot experience. Selected heels also use the brand’s Xtra-Secure bolted heel construction, with impact-resistant components sourced from the United Kingdom to improve stability and durability.
The footwear is made through a handcrafted process that combines contemporary product development with Indian artisanal handwork. Embellishments are applied by hand on selected designs, while minimal styles rely on proportion, surface and finishing instead of ornament alone. Sizes run from EUR 36 to EUR 42, with selected customisation available.
Three distinct expressions of Windlust

The broader collection includes flats, heels, platforms, wedges, mules, formal footwear and embellished designs.
Trust as part of the luxury experience
For a direct-to-consumer brand, a beautifully made product is only one part of earning confidence. Windlust has designed its online experience around the concerns that often prevent customers from trying an unfamiliar footwear label: sizing uncertainty, delivery visibility and access to a real person when assistance is needed.

- Free size or design exchanges, including reverse pickup
- A 14-day return window, with store credit issued under the published policy
- Order tracking through WhatsApp and email

“A new brand cannot ask for trust without making itself accountable,” added Bahl. “Clear policies, responsive assistance and a simple exchange experience matter just as much as presentation. Our aim is to make the first Windlust purchase feel considered from discovery to delivery.”
Windlust is inviting Indian customers to experience a more considered idea of modern luxury – one that is visible in the design, felt in the construction and supported long after checkout.
