About this product
Each shoe is hand embroidered using sustainable methods, showcasing unique tie-dye markings due to the nature of the leather. Embroidered by a tribe living along the Silk Route, these artisans, originally nomadic, create rich, textured embroidery directly into the leather. The result is a durable, one-of-a-kind moccasin. Wear them as a traditional moccasin or flip the back to style them like a mule.

Meher Kakalia
Growing up surrounded by textiles and tradition, Meher wanted to bring this heritage into fashion accessories. After studying in London, she discovered women in Karachi who continued the 400-year-old tradition of embroidering shoes for Mughal royalty. Inspired, she started a collection of jeweled slippers and flats. Each collection begins in London and Berlin, where designs are crafted into shoes and accessories by master artisans. To promote sustainability, they opened a workshop in Karachi, using recycled materials and minimizing waste. The team, many of whom have worked with Meher from the start, now support their children’s education, reflecting a commitment to respect, culture, and teamwork
