Pullas at Bhuttico are handcrafted in typical traditional style using Cannabis fiber procured from the stem of the plant, goat’s hair, and brightly colored synthetic threads. They are produced by local villagers working from homes with skills passed down from generation to generation and checked for quality by the co-operative society before being displayed in outlets. Bhutto's current range is limited in variety but offers buyers a choice between moccasins, scuffs, and the unique Himachali wrap style slippers.
