Meet Noor

The name Noor, meaning light, carries with it a sense of history, illuminating every stitch as a conversation between tradition and heritage. Reimagining the iconic Timberland 6-inch boot, Noor brings South Asian textile craft into dialogue with an American icon of work and resilience. Made from repurposed sari fabrics and embroidery, the piece reflects how stories of labor, migration, and identity are woven through both cultures. Like the shimmer of zari thread, Noor honors the beauty and endurance found in making, a meeting of craft, culture, and construction.
