If you look closely at the intricate gold-embroidered paisley patterns on these loafers you can see tiny stitches in green, pink, purple and blue silk threads. The leather insoles are decorated with delicate floral motifs, as they were also admired when shoes were removed indoors. Made in the former North West Frontier Province (now Pakistan), these loafers are a fusion of eastern aesthetics with western shoe design.

Explore around 25 pairs of shoes, slippers, sandals, clogs and boots from North Africa, the Middle East, Turkey, Central Asia and South Asia in our new free display. Together they demonstrate the important role footwear has always played in the social and cultural life of people living in these regions.

Loafers made of leather, gilt and silk threads. Pakistan, 1900–1930s.
