Marilyn Monroe famously said “Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world” and the mochis, or shoemakers, of Lahore would certainly agree. This week we welcome Mashal (@mashalkadri) to the podcast to talk about the ‘sole’ of Pakistan, from how shoemaking skills are passed down from one generation to the next, to how what you wear on your feet is much more than a fashion statement. Tune to hear how Louis Vuttion’s cultural appropriation of the Peshwari chappal went down and Janice learns that a khussa can be worn on either foot! Stay Cultured, J & N xoxo. Please take a moment to subscribe, review and comment. We’d love to hear from you @culturallyspeakingpodcast.
