Ancient crafted footwear from Georgia

These unique hand-made shoes from the Southern Caucasus region of Georgia were not what I expected to find at SCOOP International held at the Saatchi Gallery in London earlier this week. They are from the Chiti brand and are handmade from virgin wool and natural dyes as they have been for a thousand years. They aim to appeal to lifestyle concept stores who would appreciate these unique footwear made by the Tusheti women.

As explained to me, these are meant to be worn around the house or out to the garden.  You can see the whole making process on their website: chiti.co.uk
