Juttis, also known as Mojaris, are traditional Indian footwear that have been adorning feet for centuries. Originating from the royal courts of Mughal India, these handcrafted shoes have transcended time to become a beloved part of Indian fashion heritage. At Gulbhahar, we honor this rich tradition while adding our own touch of contemporary elegance.
The History and Heritage of Juttis
The art of jutti-making dates back to the Mughal era when skilled craftsmen created exquisite footwear for royalty. These artisans, known as 'mochis,' developed intricate techniques that have been passed down through generations. Punjab, Rajasthan, and parts of North India became renowned centers for jutti craftsmanship, each region developing its own distinctive style and embroidery patterns.
What makes juttis truly special is the dedication that goes into each pair. A single pair can take anywhere from several days to weeks to complete, depending on the complexity of the design. The process involves hand-stitching, embroidery, and careful attention to every detail – a labor of love that results in wearable art.
