The PULLA Story - Handcrafted Hemp Footwear from Himachal

On the Tirthan tributary of the mighty Beas, the mountain village of Gadagushaini is home to 500 families who earn their living primarily from agriculture. The terrain here is as beautiful as it is unforgiving, and the people- inspiringly strong and immensely kind. Hemp has been a part of the culture here and the women follow in the footsteps of their ancestors in using homemade hemp ropes to tie their cattle, carry straw baskets and make the popular grass-slippers or Pullas. As a craft, Pulla making and working with hemp in this manner has almost been declared as an extinct craft. These strong women are the only custodians of such generational knowledge - the artistry of spinning and weaving hemp running through their veins. Today, they struggle to justify the cost of retaining their craft. In an effort to preserve this craft and provide an additional means of income to the women, we joined hands with over 150 women and registered them for the @ministryoftextilesgoi Pehchan Artisan Cards which ensures that the craft is preserved and documented in the government archives while also providing them with additional benefits, training programmes and access to modern design and facilities. The women of Gadagushaini are a true personification of resilience and we're excited to show you what we've been crafting together.
