The craftsmanship behind khussas is deeply rooted in the culture and traditions of the region, and the shoes often feature vibrant colors and patterns that reflect the wearer's personal style or regional heritage.

Khussas are handmade, which means they are crafted by skilled artisans, often using traditional methods passed down through generations.
