Because we rely on leftover lots like our 'Disco Safari' or 'Oak' leather, many of these edits are strictly limited. If you like the look of our hand-embroidered 'Lace Edit' or the triple-tone weave of 'Madurai', know that we can tweak the strap length or add pockets to make the design fit your routine. We look at leather as a canvas for Indian craft. Our 'Lace Edit' is a fusion technique: we use traditional Kashmiri chain-stitch embroidery on leather, inspired by Sanganeri motifs from Rajasthan. It is a slow process that requires a delicate touch, so we reserve this for our softer hides like Crystal or Oak. Then there is our 'Madurai' and 'Woven' series. These are not factory-pressed patterns. We hand-interlace strips of leather—honey almond, oak, and bronze—to create texture that ages beautifully. Since we are a small studio in Delhi, we do not have stock sitting on shelves. When you order, we cut and craft. This gives us the flexibility to customize. If you want a longer sling on a Jordan bag, or initials on an Aishwarya tote, just ask. Our leather is upcycled, so when a lot is gone, it is gone. It is a trade-off: you get a unique bag, but you have to catch the edit while the leather is in our workshop. ## About Chiaroscuro I'm Smriti, and our studio in Ghitorni is where we get our hands dirty with leather. It is not a shiny showroom, just a few of us—Danish, Rehman, and the team—stitching stories into every bag, one artisan at a time.
