The 6-Step Imperial Archive
Every pair carries the heartbeat of Rajasthan’s court cobblers.
Six stages, in the order they are done: the hide is cured locally, the leather is cut to size, the upper is hand-embroidered mostly by the women of Bhinmal, and the karigar gives the pair its final form on the last.
