Henna, the heart and soul behind Qhareed, began her journey in 2018 with a simple yet personal mission: to create luxurious flat dress shoes for wedding that make every woman feel special, comfortable, and confident. After watching brides struggle with painful heels on their big day, she realized there was a need for something better. And so, the spark of Qhareed was ignited.
Determined to create a solution, Henna blended her passion for traditional footwear like Khussa and Punjabi Jutti with modern design to craft elegant, comfortable flat shoes. She teamed up with skilled artisans to create unique, handcrafted designer juttis that combine trendy designs, high-quality materials, and extra cushioning for added comfort.
Voila! After relentless effort and perseverance, it all came together in triumph. Her journey began, and soon Henna started receiving countless requests from customers for custom-designed flats tailored to their specific needs and preferences. That’s when she introduced a range of customization options, including memorial dates, initials, back embroidery, base color changes, and wide-width custom sole options for those requiring flat shoes that cater to wider feet.
These customizations became such a hit that Qhareed quickly gained a loyal following of repeat customers who wear her shoes for every occasion. Inspired by their feedback, the success of her designs led to the creation of a casual, everyday essential line, offering the same comfort and style for daily wear.
Henna began showcasing her beautifully handcrafted juttis at exhibitions, where her unique designs and attention to detail quickly gained admiration. Encouraged by the overwhelming response, she decided to open her Etsy store, Qhareed, as her first online presence. The store was an instant success, with customers praising the exquisite craftsmanship, comfortable fit, and customization options. This positive reception marked the beginning of her thriving journey into the world of online retail.
She’s passionate about crafting flat shoes that are made just for you and always enjoys connecting with her customers. If you have a special request, she’d love to hear from you and help bring your perfect pair to life!
