Out of the vast pool of Indian traditional crafts, my inspiration were the PULA CHAPPALS from Himachal Pradesh. These are lightweight shoes and slippers that are worn during religious ceremonies, within temple precincts and to walk on snow. The body of the chappal is made by intertwining very fine threads of grass spun on a takli/spindle with the upper portion created by interlacing contrasting colours of wool.
