- Description
Description
In the traditional style of jutti, these flashy slip-on shoes from India are designed by Vikram Uberoi, drawing inspiration from the beauty of the Taj Mahal. He works with local artisans, who handcraft the shoes of strawberry silk with nappa leather soles. The shoes are embellished by hand with rayon and traditional metallic zari threads alongside acrylic beads and glimmering sequins that create elegant vine motifs. A foam padding provides comfort, and each shoe’s sole is decorated with laser-printed motifs.
Jutti shoes, also known as mojari, are traditional shoes common in North India and its neighboring regions. Characterized by extensive and intricate embroidery performed with real gold and silvery thread, juttis are inspired by footwear worn by Indian royalty over 400 years ago. To this day, these beautiful slip-on shoes are popular at weddings and other ceremonies, as well as for everyday use.
