Sindhi Khusso, Multani Khussa or simply just Khussa (Urdu: کُھسّہ), is a traditional footwear produced primarily in the Punjab and Sindh regions of the Indian subcontinent. Khussa are hand-made by local artisans mostly using vegetable-tanned leather. The uppers of Khussa are made of one piece of leather or textile, which is embroidered and embellished with brass nails, cowry shells, taunra, 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 also enmeshes the leather fibers with great strength. Some product range also uses bright and ornate threads.
There are different varieties of Khussas for example Sindhi, Multani, Punjabi, Jacobabadi, Kandhkoti, Makeshan, Nagrro and others are most popular in Sindh and South Punjab.
