A shoemaker's gentle craftsmanship in Tbilisi

Betlemi Street in Tbilisi is a charming and historic neighborhood located in the heart of the Old Town, at the foot of the Narikala Fortress. This district is known for its narrow, winding streets, colorful wooden balconies, and traditional Georgian architecture. In addition to its religious and cultural landmarks, such as the Betlemi churches, the neighborhood is also home to a variety of small businesses, such as traditional shoemakers and craftsmen. In this neighborhood, you will find small, artisanal workshops that have been practicing the same craftsmanship for generations. This shoemaker works in a modest space and repairs shoes by hand using traditional techniques. His work, as well as that of other local craftsmen, adds an authentic and unique atmosphere to Betlemi. Despite the modernization of the city, this artisanal culture remains strong, and both locals and tourists appreciate the services of these small businesses. The combination of historic charm and traditional crafts makes Betlemi a vibrant and interesting neighborhood in Tbilisi.

The Betlemi Street district is known for its peaceful, almost timeless atmosphere, with stunning views of the city from its higher vantage points. The streets are steep and often lead to hidden courtyards and small squares that capture Tbilisi’s old-world charm. Betlemi Street is also a cultural hotspot, where art galleries, cafes, craft workshops and boutiques sit alongside historical landmarks, creating a unique blend of tradition and modernity. Visitors who stroll through this area experience the essence of Tbilisi’s past while being surrounded by the vibrant spirit of the present.

De Betlemi-straat in Tbilisi is een charmante en historische buurt, gelegen in het hart van de oude stad, aan de voet van het Narikala-fort. Deze wijk staat bekend om zijn smalle, kronkelende straatjes, kleurrijke houten balkons en traditionele Georgische architectuur. Naast de religieuze en culturele bezienswaardigheden, zoals de Betlemi-kerken, biedt de buurt ook een thuis aan een verscheidenheid aan kleine zelfstandigen, zoals traditionele schoenmakers en ambachtslieden. In deze buurt vind je kleine, ambachtelijke werkplaatsen die al generaties lang dezelfde vakmanschap uitoefenen. Deze schoenmaker werkt in een bescheiden ruimte en repareert schoenen met de hand, waarbij hij gebruik maakt van traditionele technieken. Zijn werk, net als dat van andere lokale ambachtslieden, voegt een authentieke en unieke sfeer toe aan Betlemi. Ondanks de modernisering van de stad blijft deze ambachtelijke cultuur sterk aanwezig, en zowel de lokale bevolking als toeristen waarderen de diensten van deze kleine zelfstandigen. De combinatie van historische charme en traditionele ambachten maakt Betlemi tot een levendige en boeiende wijk in Tbilisi.

The Amritsar 'jutti' or traditional leather sandals store was pretty well stocked

The Amritsar 'jutti' or traditional leather sandals store was pretty well stocked! This is the final look inside the store, and indeed of any more of the jutti stores in Amritsar. I must say that the sheer variety is nothing short of mind boggling! Only, the particular style and all those garish embroidery or embellishments on the shoes do not make them suitable for use outside of Amritsar or Punjab. My brother and I decided to pass,
though my sis in law picked up a pair. (Amritsar, Punjab, northern India, Nov. 2017)

Amritsar if famous for it's 'jutti' or leather sandals

Amritsar is famous for its traditional Punjabi leather sandals, called jutti. That’s a jutti shop in Amritsar in Northern India as my sis in law makes her selection inside. These juttis are to Punjab what Kolhapuri slippers are etc are to Maharashtra, only, while the Kolhapuri slippers are of the 'chappal' or sandals variety, the Punjabi juttis are more like slip on shoes. What makes them unsuitable for wear outside Punjab is that they are terribly shallow (in terms of depth), even shallower than moccasins. Most have a pointed front, with some even having an upturn at the front tip. And most of them are colourful, full of embroidery and decorations. And being 100% leather, they are pretty hard and uncomfortable to wear for too long. Of course, in keeping with modern tastes, many jutti stores are turning out traditional shoes in slip on form with a rubber sole, but then that kills the idea of a traditional footwear,, doesn't it?

A woman walks past the jutti store- there wasn't much patronage

A woman walks past the two jutti (Punjabi leather sandals) stores near the Harmandir Sahib/ Golden Temple in Amritsar. We found several stores selling these juttis all over Amritsar but the patronage left mush to be desired- almost all of the stores were totally devoid of customers, barring one we saw near Hall Gate the following day. The lack of patronage probably explains why the shop to the right has also displayed a few sneakers and running shoes- these are modern footwear and have nothing at all to do with the traditional juttis of Punjab.

Two large stores selling traditional Punjabi jutti or leather sandals

As we continue our walk towards Amritsar's icon the Harmandir Sahib/ Golden Temple, we come across two more large stores selling traditional Punjabi jutti or leather sandals. Notes about the Punjabi jutti appeared earlier in this album (see previous pictures). (Amritsar, Punjab, northern India, Nov. 2017)

A newly set up shop selling traditional Punjabi leather sandals

As we were on our long-ish walk from our hotel to the Harmandir Sahib or Golden Temple, several folks we approached for directions were urging us to take a tuktuk so that the tuktuk drivers will get some business for the day. We did that eventually, but on the first day we simply wanted to explore. On the way, we came across this newly set up shop selling traditional Punjabi leather sandals. These sandals are called 'jutti' in the local lingo. We were quite far outside, but two guys came right out of the store to invite us inside, saying they have put on display several aspects of Punjabi culture inside and there was no charge to simply take a look. We were not in a shopping mood just yet, so we had to politely decline and move on. (Amritsar, Punjab, northern India, Nov. 2017)

A store selling 'jutti' or traditional Punjabi leather sandals

Amritsar is, among other things, also famous for 'jutti' or traditional Punjabi leather sandals. They are as inseparable with Punjab as Kolhapuri chappals (sandals) are to Maharashtra. Unlike the Kolhapure sandals,which are strapless sandals, the Punjab jutti is more shoe like, much like moccasins or low slip on shoes. Everything in the Punjabi jutti is leather, including the sole, and sometimes (though not always) even the stitching. Traditionally, Punjabi juttis used to have a tip curving upwards, like a dog's tail, but in keeping with modern trends, (no one nowadays will wear a jutti with a tip curving upwards!), more contemporary designs have been put out,
including some which look just like proper leather shoes. I did buy similar 'jutti' like slip ons in Turkey (the Turkish style), but rarely wear them as they offer no padding to the soles of the feet and the scope for wearing them is very limited, especially in Dubai, where I currently live. I therefore decided to pass on the jutti and did not buy any here.
My sis in law picked up a pair or two though. (Amritsar, Punjab, northern India, Nov. 2017)

My sis in law strikes a pose inside a 'jutti' or leather sandals store after making her selection. The shoes were quite expensive, and despite the astounding variety you see here, we found little we could wear outside of Punjab, thanks to their garish embellishments and embroidery. The store was offering plain jane juttis in normal slip on style, black or brown, but then these were neither here nor there, so my brother and I decided to pass.

Mojari - The ethnic footwear -

“MOJARI” is a generic name of handcrafted ethnic footwear produced in India. 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. Even the bonding from the upper to the sole is done by cotton thread that is not only eco-friendly but enmeshes the leather fibers with great strength. Displayed here are the Ladies variety only but its available for men as well...
