Chamba Rumal is generally used as a square mal-mal (muslin) cloth coverlet embroidered with colourful silken threads. The birds, human and animal’s motifs were used to develop the Chamba Rumal footwears. The Chamba Rumal is interesting embroidery which reflects the social and religious life of the people in a particular region. For the present study, Chamba Rumal motifs were collected and selected by the researcher herself with the help of guide in the first phase of the study. Then 25 design sheets were prepared with the most preferred motifs. The developed design sheets were scrutinized by 100 respondents. Out of these, five designs sheets were selected by ranking method. Then, these were developed into prototypes. After development of prototypes, assessment was done by 5-point rating scale. It was observed that majority of the respondents accepted the newly developed products and rated the prototypes from average to excellent. Also, the respondents were ready to buy the products at the estimated cost. Thus, it was concluded that designing of footwear through art of Chamba Rumal embroidery is a successful innovation in the field of textile and fashion industry.
