Indian Film-Inspired Sandals

Bollywood Boots by Diana Linda are Exotic and Eccentric

— April 30, 2011 — Fashion
The Bollywood Boots by Diana Linda are a unique set of shoes inspired by the Indian film industry of flashy dancers, high drama and catchy dance beats.

The Bollywood Boots use the traditional lush printed fabrics, which wrap around your ankles in a boot-cut style. This interesting hybrid also combines a sandal look; there's an open-toe style in a gladiator look. These shoes are very vibrant and exotic and bring a lot of bohemian appeal. Designer Diana Linda has lived in India since 2002 and loves to incorporate Bombay pop culture into her crafts.

The Bollywood Boots by Diana Linda are a smash hit and makes me want to dance to the beats too.
