Understand

Where Punjabi jutti comes from

Juttis have long been made by leatherworkers in Punjab, with towns such as Patiala and Amritsar known for them.

How it's practiced

Artisans cut and stitch leather by hand and decorate the uppers with thread, zari or bead embroidery, often finishing with a pointed or curled toe.
