Bridal lists begin filling up quickly. Lehenga, jewellery, and saree for the reception; however, towards the end of the list comes footwear. However, ask any bride a few days after her marriage, and she will tell you that it was the juttis that she wished she had invested more time choosing. The Designer Punjabi Juttis add more to your overall look than completing it.

What sets them apart from other ethnic footwear

There is definitely a distinction between regular ethnic footwear and designer Punjabi juttis. This distinction becomes visible through the number of threads used for making the embroidery, the weight of the sole and the shape of the toe. Designer Punjabi juttis are not mass-produced items but rather unique juttis created by hand. This makes them special.

What occasions are appropriate to wear them

It is a common practice that most women buy their bridal juttis for their weddings and then put them away, never wearing them again. It is such a waste when it could be put to better use. Designer Punjabi juttis are not only suitable for the big day but also for the sangeet ceremony, another friend's marriage, festive dinner with the family or casual ethnic day.

How to choose the right one

Look at the outfit. If your lehenga or suit is heavily embroidered, then choose juttis with a more minimalistic approach to make sure that the look doesn’t become too cluttered. However, if the outfit itself is rather plain, then you can compensate for it with an ornamental jutti. Colours matter, and while contrasting colours look great, matching juttis and dupattas is always a great idea.
How to wear juttis after the wedding

Here lies the gap in everyone's thought process. Designer juttis find themselves in a box once the wedding is over and never see the light of day again after that. That is indeed tragic, as a nice pair of juttis complements a plain cotton suit, just like a designer jutti goes along well with a complete lehenga. You could go for an embroidered pair of juttis with a straight cut kurta and palazzo pants for work or even with a simple chiffon saree for attending a puja ceremony or a family gathering. The point here is to have the juttis make the statement while keeping everything else simple.

Why craft makes a difference from the brand name

While the big name written on the box may sound impressive, it doesn't guarantee that the jutti itself is of high quality. Handmade Punjabi Juttis, which were crafted with the help of traditional crafts such as zardozi, gota patti, and mirror work, are always much superior to their machine-manufactured counterparts.
Better stitching and materials give the hand-crafted juttis unique features and style. This is especially true if you decide to invest in your footwear for an important day in your life. Handmade juttis by Gulbhahar feature all the best traditions of craftsmanship.
