Guru tunics are made with fine European linen and cotton bought in New York City. Each classic long sleeved tunic is embellished with handmade piping of the same breathable fabric. Guru’s fashion inspiration is Indian cinema, tunics worn by the creative, emancipated, and very chic, new, art house heroines of the 1960s and 70s.
Each hand-stitched piece is perfect for a day-to-evening look. Guru tunics and sandals are also an ideal choice for travel, vacation-wear, and simply luxury basking.
Guru assures its customers the highest standards of excellence and ethical purchase. Guru commissions sweatshop-free manufacturing. It supports cottage industries free of child labor. And it is committed to making eco-friendly and organic choices for all its materials and processes used.
Guru sandals are sourced from craftsmen who support a dying cottage industry art, based within Lahore and its surrounding villages. The source is also a pioneer in terms of design, technology and standard, producing the most beautifully-worked, durable, quality products available in Pakistan, and in the world today.
Design innovation is drawn regionally from across Pakistan, and surrounding cultural influences. All sandals are made of natural, premium quality cowhide. The shoes are naturally processed, no chemicals are involved in their manufacture. No child labor is used in the manufacture of these shoes. The threadwork, or tankas, are stitched by hand by women or old men from their homes. Often, they are the sole breadwinners for their families. All Guru sandals have reinforced rubber soles for added comfort and durability.
