About Our Bag Collections: Find Your Perfect Style
When you choose a bag from our collection, you are not selecting a mass-produced item. Each piece is crafted from start to finish by a single artisan in our Ghitorni studio. Whether you prefer the structured lines of the Mahitha or the relaxed, boho vibe of the Sunaina, your bag is built over a period of 1.5 to 3 days by one maker. This approach ensures a consistent quality and a personal finish that factory-made goods simply miss.
Our Process in Ghitorni
Our bags are designed for real use, not just for display. Every pattern, zip, and stitch is considered to ensure the bag stands up to your daily routine. Because we operate as a workshop rather than a showroom, you get a front-row seat to the process.
Customization Options
We believe your bag should work for you. During your visit or consultation, we can modify almost any design:
- Hardware & Utility: Switch magnetic closures for zips, add dividers, or adjust strap lengths to fit your height.
- Artistic Touches: Add a personal monogram, or request traditional techniques like Gond painting, Zardozi embroidery, and intricate leather weaving.
- Material Selection: We work with varied hides, including semi-stiff structural buffalo leather and soft, pebbled finishes. Because we source limited lots of upcycled leather, the material you choose often dictates the final character of the piece.
Finding the Right Fit
If you are unsure where to start, consider the function you need:
- Work & Daily Use: The Mahitha or Perry designs offer a structured base that keeps your essentials organized.
- Travel & Leisure: The Kabir toiletry kit or the Sunaina hobo are designed to be soft, spacious, and easy to pack.
- Evening & Outings: The Celia sling provides a compact, vintage-inspired option for when you only need the basics.
We love when you drop by our Delhi studio to touch and feel these leathers before ordering. It helps you understand exactly how the material behaves, ensuring the final piece is exactly what you envisioned.
