An Indo-Pak Joint Venture


This pair of sandals was purchased from Hasan Abdal, Punjab, Pakistan, in April 2006.

Recently, when the inner soles required replacement, I sought help from the friendly-neighbourhood cobbler. So, at present, this is the handiwork of Indian as well as Pakistani craftsmen.

  1. Wow great.
    The day I went to the doctor’s, I saw a fellow (male) patient wearing a white salwar kameez and kadhi hoyee jutti, it was a cross waley sandals. I was so impressed that I asked him where he had gotten it. In a very innocent way he told me Lahoron magwayee hai ji. I felt like snatching that pair from him. I might have, if he had not worn them, and if he had not been sick. he he he.

    Tell us, where all do you wear them? I mean what occasions? And with which dresses?
