The process begins with selecting quality genuine leather that is supple yet durable. Craftsmen carefully cut and shape the leather pieces, stitching them together using traditional techniques that ensure flexibility and longevity. The distinctive feature of this jutti is the tilla kadayi embroidery, where metallic golden threads are meticulously hand-stitched onto the leather surface in intricate floral and paisley patterns. Small pearl-like beads are individually attached along the edges and within the design, adding dimension and sparkle. The curved toe cap design requires particular expertise to maintain symmetry whilst accommodating the embellishment work. The insole features traditional crossed stitching patterns, providing both decorative appeal and structural support. The PVC sole is attached firmly to ensure durability for daily wear. Each pair takes days to complete, with every stitch representing the artisan's dedication to preserving this cultural craft.   Speciality The jutti's speciality lies in its versatile elegance and authentic craftsmanship. The brown leather serves as a neutral base that pairs beautifully with both ethnic wear and fusion outfits, whilst the golden tilla work adds festive charm without overwhelming. The handcrafted quality ensures each pair has a unique character.   How to Care? Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after each use. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth followed by immediate drying. Apply leather conditioner occasionally to maintain suppleness. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid prolonged water exposure to preserve the embroidery and leather quality.   These handcrafted tilla kadayi juttis bring Punjab's footwear heritage to your wardrobe, offering timeless style and artisanal quality that transcends passing trends.
