The embroidery on these straps is not decorative in the casual sense - it is the craft itself. Red flowers, blue borders, yellow and green geometric motifs, each thread placed by hand by an artisan in Chamba. The natural leather footbed carries some of the finest scallop stitching in the collection. Worn daily or saved for the day that deserves it.
Product Description
The chappal that carries a whole tradition on two straps.
Chamba has been embroidering textiles for centuries. The Chamba Rumal — the region's famous hand-embroidered cloth — is one of India's most recognized craft traditions, its double-satin stitch technique so refined that the reverse of the work is as clean as the front. The embroidery on these chappals draws from the same hand, the same vocabulary of flowers and geometry, the same unhurried attention that has defined Chamba's needle-work for generations.
This is not a printed pattern. Not a machine-embroidered approximation. Each motif — the red flower on the triangular vamp, the blue and yellow geometric band on the lower strap — is worked by hand, thread by thread, by craftspeople in Chamba, Himachal Pradesh.
Yatrika brings this to you exactly as it is made. Nothing added. Nothing simplified. Brought closer.
