Mukaish Jutti
Mukaish is a metal-work technique rather than a thread one. Fine strips of metal are twisted into the surface by hand and then flattened, leaving tiny raised dots that scatter light as you move. In Lucknow the same craft is often called badla work.

About Mukaish Jutti
Because the metal is worked directly into the leather, mukaish juttis stay light. There is no dense thread padding on the upper, so a pair feels closer to a soft flat than to heavy occasion footwear, which is why people who find embroidered juttis too warm tend to prefer these.
The dotted mukaish pattern is subtle in daylight and comes alive under evening light, so a single pair carries an afternoon function and a night reception equally well. Most designs here sit on pale or neutral bases where the metal reads most clearly.
Every pair is handmade in Delhi on genuine leather with a cushioned insole. Sizes UK 3 to UK 8, from Rs. 1,550, free shipping across India.
