Nupur AgrawalI heard this once as a teenager – ‘When you wear Mojaris (juttis), first they bite you, then they accept you, and then you fall in love with them!’ These fellas did not exactly bite me but took their own time to get comfortable in my skin.
One of the most feasible and affordable options for daily college & casual wear, this silp-on styled pair of mojaris actually proves the famous words of a genius ‘A partner is like a pair of shoes (Don’t get offended already), You are attracted to the ones that shine, but in the end you pick the one you are most comfortable with.’ The ethnic work done with red, yellow and green with the thin silver thread – work and a patch of brown leather makes this pair of Mojaris instantly attractive.
However, the story of Mojaris is a little different. They are colorful, beautiful, all different from each other, unique in their facial structure, curves and even the points where they cut, but mojaris believe in tough love.
Meticulously handmade by skilled artisans in remote corners of India, these have no left or right distinction and take shape of your foot (over the time), are the most popular ethnic footwear in North India, especially in Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan. Rich golden threads or silver threads are used to craft eccentric motifs to add a regal dash on these juttis made of different shades of leather and lovely embroidery. The best part about these is that despite being ethnic & desi in nature, the mojaris make a really cool match with ethnic, westerns, formals too !!
