Need Advice! Planning to Open a Bespoke Shoes Shop in India — Looking for All the Nitty-Gritties

Hey everyone,

I'm seriously exploring the idea of opening a bespoke/custom shoes shop in India (think handcrafted, personalised fits, premium leather, tailored designs). Before I dive deeper, I’d love insights from people who have experience in footwear, manufacturing, retail, or running a small business here.

I'd appreciate ANY insights good, bad, brutally honest. If you’ve run a similar business, even better, would love to know what you wish someone told you before you started.

Thanks in advance!
