Sheer Zardosi Mesh Juttis

The footwear is a modern "fusion" jutti from the brand Sandal Stories. It reimagines the traditional Punjabi jutti by using a contemporary sheer black mesh base instead of traditional heavy leather or velvet.

Detailed Description

Upper Material: The body is constructed from a high-quality, transparent black net (mesh). This "naked shoe" design provides a lightweight, breathable feel while highlighting the foot.

Embellishments (Zardosi & Kundan): The toe box is heavily decorated with hand-done Zardosi work (intricate metal thread embroidery). It is encrusted with a dense cluster of teardrop and circular kundan-style stones and crystals that create a sparkling gradient effect.

Structural Details: The top line (opening) of the shoe is reinforced with metallic gold faux-leather piping. This provides structural integrity to the delicate mesh and adds a polished, contrasting finish.

Comfort Insole: Unlike many traditional flat-soled juttis, this pair features an ergonomic comfort insole. It includes visible stitched cushioning in heart and oval patterns designed to provide support for the ball and arch of the foot.

Silhouette: A classic pointed-toe (slip-on) ballerina silhouette with a low-cut vamp, making them easy to wear for long durations.

Usage & Care

Occasions: Ideal for ethnic parties, weddings, or festive wear. They can be paired with sarees, lehengas, or even fusion wear like cropped trousers.

Maintenance:

Dry cleaning only is recommended for such intricate handwork.

Avoid moisture; if they get wet, dry them in sunlight before storing to protect the mesh and stone adhesive.

Store in a dust bag or wrap in muslin cloth to prevent the stones from catching on other items.
