    Mojaris, kolhapuri chappals,Jodhpur shoes,Khussa Punjabi, Jaipuri Jutti
    what ever the name given, mojaris are the same ,slightly differ from the designing alone.

    Mojari or Khussa is a generic name of handcrafted ethnic footwear produced in India and Pakistan. These are made by artisans mostly using vegetable tanned leather. The uppers are made of one piece of leather or textile embroidered and embellished with brass nails, cowries shells, mirrors, bells and ceramic beads. Even the bonding from the upper to the sole is done by cotton thread that is not only eco-friendly but also enmeshes the leather fibers with great strength. Some product range also uses bright and ornate threads.

    The ethnicity of the traditional skills accentuate into poetry when intermingled with the contemporary colours and designs. Applique in form of differently designed figures are cut out of leather and sewn on the vamp manually. The design would dictate the nature, colour and shape of the applique. It could range from an intricate applique which itself could incorporate other design features like embroidery(embroidered with sequence, thread work and beads work), punches, weaves, etc., to a simple cut out shape from any material like leather, jute,textile, synthetic, etc.


    India has a very long tradition of leather crafts ranging from handbags, leather stools to Mojaris, Khussa, Kolhapuris and Jootis centered at Rajasthan, Delhi, Karnataka & Punjab. The production of these heavily embroidered juttis date back to the period of Kings and Queens. In those times, these juttis were embroidered with real gold and silver threads and decorated with precious gems and pearls. But, with the passage of time, these were replaced by artificial materials, beads, bells etc, in order to make them affordable for everyone. These juttis & mojaris are made of buffalo, cow or camel leather soles, while the upper part comprises leather or simply textile. Both the parts are joined together by a paste and then stitched by white cotton threads.

    Mojari is referred to a man's closed shoe with an extended curled toe, while as juttis have flat fronts. In juttis, rear is normally covered but mojaris have an open look from behind. Produced mainly in Jaipur and Jodhpur, cities of Rajasthan, these juttis are sure to enchant you and provide that royal touch to your attire. These shoes were flat soled and there were no left-right distinction.

    They are exceptionally colorful and extraordinarily traditional.Light juttis are considered the best. It is said that they are so light that even the sparrows can fly away with them. They are designed in such a way that they give an ethnic Indian look,an elite appearance to the wearer, combined with a royal appearance. Utility, along with beauty, is the main concept behind the production of mojaris.
