]]> A perfect mix of tradition and culture which is equally loved by the people of all ages, ‘Jutti’ is derived from an Urdu word for a shoe. This type of shoe has a closed upper and is slipped-on. It is most commonly associated with Punjab and mostly worn in North India. Punjabi juttis were originally made out of leather and their uniqueness comes from the embellishments and embroidery. It is symbolic to authentic and ethnic beauty passed on through generations and is an important part of the traditional Punjabi culture.

]]> Zardozi embroidery has been in existence in India from the time of the Rig Veda. Timeless embroidery hand crafted authentically by the artisans, the word zardozi is a combination of two urdu words ‘zar’ means gold and ‘doz’ means hand-work/sewing or embroidery; zardozi is an embroidery done with a gold thread. This beautiful metal thread embroidery once used to enrich the attires of the Kings and the royalty in India. The treasure of Akbar included wide range of stitched garments, which were embellished with metal embroidery. The way Zardozi is known now, is the process of sewing embellishments on fabrics using a metal-bound thread. The work involves making elaborate designs, using gold and silver threads. Studded pearls and precious stones often find a place in between the meandering golden streams. Shimmery pieces of spangles, stones and sequins are also sewn in to create resplendent patterns on cloth. The pieces created using it are timeless, passed down through generations, just like this craft. Bhopal is one of the places in India where this craft is still practiced in its traditional and authentic way. It can be found in the narrow alleys of this old town and is its signature embroidery art.
