    A person in a white dress holds a woven straw hat on their lap, showing off vibrant green embroidered slingback shoes with yellow flower accents. The text "meher kakalia" is written across the image. Fearrington VillageWe're thrilled to introduce the extraordinary Meher Kakalia collection to our shoe salon at Dovecote—where fashion meets centuries-old artistry. These aren’t just shoes; they’re stories stitched in silk, sequins, and soul.
    Founded in the sweltering heat of a London summer, Meher Kakalia launched her namesake brand to celebrate the beauty of hand embroidery and traditional craftsmanship. Inspired by her childhood surrounded by antique textiles in Karachi, Meher returned to her roots and discovered a group of women artisans who had preserved the art of Moghul shoemaking—yes, as in royal slippers for kings and queens. Each pair of shoes begins in design studios in London and Berlin, then comes to life in the hands of master craftsmen and women who turn embroidered uppers into wearable treasures.The result? Jewelled slippers, embroidered ballet flats, and eye-catching accessories that feel as luxe as they look—perfect for dressing up denim or adding personality to a simple sundress.This 400-year-old art is carried on through sisterhood, work ethic, and an obsessive love for detail—and now, you can carry it too.
