Our story:Â
We discovered Jootis 2 years ago on an unforgettable and fascinating trip to India, and felt the desire to bring the magic of the Indian culture back to Europe. The best way of doing that, was in the form of these unique handcrafted shoes and handbags.
The only thing missing was a great team. The three of us have been friends for a long time, we always shared the same passion and therefor  decided to realise our visions. Anubhav, expert in logistics and supply chain management has joined the team recently.
Lucia and Felicitas are based out of Madrid, where the company’s HQ is located and where designs  process is taking place. Sreetama and Anubhav, our operation managers, are based out of India, supervising the supply chain and closely working together with our artisans and suppliers, in order to assure and guarantee that at our production facilities, quality and ethical standards are always met.Â
CHHAYA Jooti Collection:Â
CHHAYA Jootis are ethically sourced and handcrafted, with focus on high quality, comfort and style. Jooti making is a century old craftsmanship which is passed on from one generation to the other. Artisans dedicate their creative energy in stitching each pair and embroidering them with their own hands. Our goal is to relive and introduce this unique art to the western market and help Jooti-artisans in India continue practicing this exceptional profession. Our craftsmen are using exclusively high quality leather and materials for the manufacturing process of CHHAYA Jootis.
