DERA ISMAIL KHAN: Dera Ismail Khan is famous for traditional handmade sandals locally known as bund and kheri chappal but this art of shoemaking is dying fast.
However, some shoemakers, who inherited the art from ancestors, are trying to keep it alive.
According to them, Derawal chappal is made in four stages with the first and most difficult being the preparation of the upper part by cutting a piece of leather according to the design.
In the next stage, the footwear’s sole is made.
There follows first the fitting of foam with the chappal’s upper part and then its manual stitching with the sole.
