This is the first thing our patrons see. It’s a curated showcase of our craftsmanship, the stories behind our bags, and the incredible community that brings them to life. Each piece here represents the heart of what we do: co-creating unique, personal, and handmade leather bags.
Artistic Edits: Embroidery, Painting & Weaving
This is where our artisans' skills truly shine. We combine traditional Indian art forms with our leatherwork to create something truly special. From the intricate hand-weaving of our Woven and Madurai edits to the delicate hand-embroidery of our Lace collection and the vibrant strokes of Gond art, each piece is a wearable work of art.
Your Bag, Your Way: Customization Ideas
This is where the magic of co-creation happens. Every bag we make can be personalized to fit your life and style. This section is full of ideas, from adding a simple monogram to changing pockets, straps, and even combining different leathers and edits. Use these as a starting point and let's design your perfect bag together.
Leather Library: Understanding Our Materials
We believe the soul of a bag is in its leather. Because we use upcycled materials, our collection is always changing, and each hide has its own unique story and character. In these videos, our artisans and I take you behind the scenes to explain the textures, finishes, and processes that make our leathers special, from natural grain NDM to exotic foiled prints.
Meet Our Family: The Artisans & Our Story
Chiaroscuro is more than just a brand; it's a family of artisans, patrons, and collaborators. Every bag is made from start to finish by a single artisan, and their skill and passion are in every stitch. Here, you can meet the people behind the bags, hear from our patrons, and learn about the journey that has brought us to our 10th anniversary.
The Men's Collection
Clean lines, practical design, and our signature craftsmanship. Our men's collection features a range of bags and accessories designed for the modern man. From versatile backpacks and wash kits to custom briefcases, each piece is made from high-quality leather and can be personalized to suit your style.
