About Handcrafted Leather Bags & Accessories
What Makes Our Bags Different
At Chiaroscuro, I make sure every bag has a story. Each piece is made start to finish by one artisan - so when you get a bag, it’s truly artisan crafted leather goods. You’ll sometimes hear us say, 'Bahut bika hai, khatam hone wala hai ye toh' (It sold a lot, it’s about to finish) because our leathers are often limited edition. If you want something that stands out, you’re in the right place.
Customization? Always!
I love when you bring new ideas. Custom leather bag design is kind of our thing. Want a longer strap, an extra pocket, or a zip instead of a magnet? Just ask. We’ve done tons of quirky customizations before - customer ne kaafi saara (customers have done a lot), so don’t hesitate.
Our Best-Loved Styles
- Sunaina: Soft boho shoulder bag with tassels, comes in three sizes.
- Celia: Vintage-style sling, small but packs the essentials.
- Rumi & Ghalib: Structured laptop bags and briefcases for work.
Special Touches
I’m obsessed with finishes. We use upcycled leather handbags in textures like ‘Toffee’ and ‘Slate’. If you like something extra, check out our handwoven leather details, Gond Art painting, lace embroidery, or bold Safari prints. Aap dik jaoge kahin se bhi (You’ll stand out anywhere).
Made to Last
These bags aren’t just good for now - they’re made to last, picking up stories and memories along the way.

My Story
Smriti here – so, Chiaroscuro is basically a tiny studio tucked in Delhi, where leather scraps become something special. It's not all shiny and showroom-y, just a few of us, hands deep in leather, stitching away. Sometimes we score wild leftover leather, sometimes it's soft, sometimes not so much. Each bag’s got a bit of India in it – Kashida, Sanganeri, even Gond art. What I love most? Watching our single artisan leather bags travel from Mumbai to Egypt, each one with its own story.
My Work
Handmade Leather Bags & Accessories - We make upcycled leather bags, wallets, and accessories. Each piece is crafted to order, just for you.
Single Artisan Made - One artisan handles your bag, start to finish. Their name goes with your bag – you’ll know who made it.
Customize Your Chiaroscuro - Pick your style, tweak colors, add pockets or initials. Want a Gond art bag or a customizable handle height? We do that.
Limited-Run Upcycled Leathers - We hunt for unique, leftover leathers. Each wallet or bag is one-of-a-kind and sometimes, once it’s gone, it’s gone.
