Jutti or Khussa


The type of footwear in Pakistan is known as Jutti, made up of leather and also embroidered with mostly gold and silver threads and some time mirrors are also embedded on them. Now a days jutti is also available with rubber sole. There are many thyes of jutti like Lahori, Peshawari, and Kasoori juttis. Juttis normally are in flat shape and designs are same for men and women, except that men’s jutti have sharp long tip (nokh). Juttis are also known as Khussa or Mojri. Hand-made juttis are embroidered very beautifully.

These juttis were also worn by rich people as Zamidars, Jagirdars, Maharajas, Chaudhary and others in all over the Pakistan. People in Pakistan like to wear them on different traditional occasions like wedding and Eid. When these are wear eith traditional dresses as sherwani and kurta-pajama, it gives the more beautiful and traditional look to the people.
