For this collection, traditional Ikat prints feature prominently on the footwear along with Jibbitz charms inspired by Indian motifs like owl, sparrow, elephant, and sparrow.

The colors are vibrantly keeping it authentic to Crocs and Chumbak’s style along with funky Jibbitz created for fun everyday moments. The ChumbakXCrocs Classic clogs are available in red, blue, and beige and are versatile for different occasions like a date night, WFH, or girls’ night out!
