Mojari or Jootis are the most popular traditional leather wear in Rajasthan. The
most refined work is found in Jaipur and Jodhpur, which produces premium quality

These are made by artisans mostly using vegetable tanned leather. The uppers are
made of one piece of leather or textile embroidered and embellished with brass nails,
cowries shells, mirrors, bells and ceramic beads.
The Jooties reflect the unique style of every district they belong to. It is amazing
how the leather is beaten, tanned and dyed and put to the best use. The leather
is punched and gouged to create patterns, studded, sequined and even embroidered
with woolen motifs.
