Meher Kakalia moved from Karachi to London to study but kept her love for handcraft. After several years of working in the corporate world, on one of her trips back home, she discovered the women who had kept up the tradition of embroidering shoes for the Moghul Kings and Queens. Meher began her collection with these women and started on little jeweled slippers and ballet flats.
This craft, which is over 400 years old, is handed down from generation to generation and kept alive through sisterhood, work ethic and love for detail. Each collection starts in Meher Kakalia's Atelier in London and Berlin where they work with technical specialists in Europe.
