TAKHLEEQ

This is an ode to the woman has been the driving force behind Mochari. Aged 60, a cancer survivor, an enthusiast, a team leader, a selfless giver and most importantly, a mother- she is a force to be reckoned with.
It is only because of her unwavering support that we are who we are today. It is only because of her unparalleled perseverance that we have been capable of working so hard in every walk of life. It is because of her resilience that Mochari has reached where it stands today.
Never have we heard her say ‘مت کرو’- her only words directed at us have been ‘کر کےتو دیکھو-زیادہ سے زیادہ کیا ہو جاے گا؟ جب تک کرو گے نہیں ٻتا کیسے لگے گا’
Her encouraging expressions and calming whispers that were never really spoken to us have gotten us all through the absolute worst.
Asma Akhtar, who never wanted to come forward but was convinced by Seemab Saqib Khan, is our mother– she is the strength and brains behind Mochari, the pillar that has supported her daughters thus far, she is the early morning light and the very last thing we want to see before we sleep.
Every shoe you see in collection TAKHLEEQ is curated by her from scratch- every shoe ever produced contains a piece of her. Her love, compassion and passion flows through every thread that she has herself sewn into every shoe produced in this collection.
Growing up, we have always seen my mother express an urge to work and the opportunity to design handmade stuff allows her creativity to come to the fore.
It is only because of the strength that she embodies that we are able to stand tall and deal with anything that comes our way.
We are quoting my mother’s example here because she is the epitome of resilience and valor. According to her having something of your own, no matter how small or big is very important. It gives you control over your life, makes you confident and prepares you for difficult times. If you have not started already, do it now. As long as you never give up, you win every single day.
We want to thank you for being who you are, doing what you do and helping us in any and all ways, always. This would not have been possible without you Ma! ♥️
