I bought these shoes in a tiny shop in Tbilisi where Georgian designers sell their creations.⁣ ⁣ My favorite part is the Georgian writing on them which says "I love you" again and again like a meditation.⁣ ⁣ The Kartuli language is extremely important to Georgians. It's rich and beautiful (my friend Sarah of @tasteGeorgia noted that legend says it was developed out of the shape of grapevines 🍇), and it is very much their own.⁣ ⁣ One of the biggest misconceptions I come across is the amount of people that believe Georgians speak Russian.⁣ ⁣ While many of the older generations know Russian because they had to learn it during Soviet times, it is 𝘯𝘰𝘵 their native tongue.⁣ ⁣ Any declaration by the Soviet government to remove Georgian/Kartuli as a state language has been met with protests, marches and defiance.⁣ ⁣ And so the mother tongue prevails in Georgia, and it's celebrated in April.⁣ ⁣ I've been thinking of getting a tattoo in the cursive form, which is art in itself.⁣ ⁣ I had to cancel my reader tour this May because of covid 😭. I may not be able to make it back to Georgia at all this year. But at least I can walk around in these shoes and feel connected to one of my favorite places.⁣ ⁣ I love you I love you I love you 💗」4月17日 4時48分
