Signature Handcrafted Leather: Woven, Painted & Embroidered
We don't just stitch bags; we build them by hand. Explore our signature woven leather, delicate lace embroidery, and hand-painted Gond motifs—each piece crafted by one artisan from start to finish.
The Woven Edit is our oldest special edit, where leather is cut and interlaced by hand. Here, we focus on Woven Oak, a soft, matte, dark brown goat hide that is lightweight yet hardy, making it perfect for everyday bags like the Namrata hobo and Garland briefcase.
This is our Woven Bordeaux edit, featuring a deep burgundy sheepskin. This leather is super soft and lightweight, creating an elegant look, but it's more delicate and suited for careful users. It's shown here on our Perry satchel and Little Sunaina hobo.
The Madurai Edit is a special triple-color weave combining our classic Honey Almond tan, Oak brown, and a touch of metallic Bronze. It creates a statement look that is still easy to wear every day, shown here on the Little Perry.
A beautiful example of our Gond art edit on a Short Sam tote, shared by our patron Garima. This traditional art form is hand-painted by skilled artists directly onto the leather, making each bag a unique piece of wearable art.
Another custom Gond art piece, this time featuring an owl motif on the Short Sam tote. This is a perfect example of how we can collaborate with you to create a deeply personal and artistic bag.
The All Woven Oak Namrata bag, a soft and slouchy hobo style that beautifully showcases the texture of our hand-woven leather.
The Woven Bordeaux Perry, where the hand-woven front panel adds texture and elegance to this classic, structured satchel.
The All Woven Twill Bordeaux Little Sunaina. This piece combines our signature weaving with twill detailing on the handle for an extra touch of craft.
The Little Perry in our triple-color Madurai weave. The intricate pattern adds a sophisticated and unique twist to this compact satchel.
The Faiz backpack in Woven Slate. The woven front panel elevates this functional, unisex design, adding a layer of texture and quiet luxury.
About Signature Craftsmanship: Woven, Embroidered & Painted
Choosing between our techniques comes down to how you plan to use your bag. Our hand-woven leathers, like the Madurai or Oak edits, are hardy and perfect for daily office use. In contrast, our Lace and Gond art pieces are more delicate—they are wearable art that thrives on being handled with a bit more care. Tell us your lifestyle, and we will guide you to the right craft for your bag.
Our signature edits are where we move away from standard manufacturing. When you opt for a woven design, like our popular Oak or Bordeaux series, you are seeing leather cut into strips and interlaced by hand into a mat before the bag is even stitched. This creates a distinct, durable texture that holds up well for everyday carry.
For those wanting a statement piece, our Gond art collections—traditionally hand-painted by skilled artists—turn your everyday tote into something truly unique. We also specialize in Zardozi and lace embroidery, though we suggest these for lighter use due to the intricate nature of the thread work.
Because every bag is 'Single Artisan Made', your custom commission isn't just about the design; it's about the person whose hands crafted it from the first cut to the final stitch. You can visit our Ghitorni workshop to touch these textures yourself or start a custom commission online. Whether you want to adapt a classic Namrata hobo or create a one-of-a-kind piece, we are here to walk you through the options.
