If you're an ardent fan of cute little creatures Minions, a superhero movie buff or a lazy lad like Garfield, then turn to your sneakers to showcase your love for your favourite in a trendy way.

Hand-painted canvas shoes have become a rage, especially among the urban youth with their unique and quirky designs in vivid colours. Be it a girl or a boy, anyone can start picking their favourite with a starting price range of Rs.1899.

With data assimilated by Seema Varma, creative vice president at Fashionara.com, here are top trends of hand-painted canvas shoes.
