About Handcrafted Leather Handbags
Why I Make Bags Slowly
I don’t rush. If you’re after fast fashion or next-day delivery, I’m not your guy. I make each bag at its own pace, so it lasts. My style’s not loud - I prefer quiet luxury and minimalist forms. Real leather only - it won’t peel but will change with you, getting better as it ages. Every stitch has a story, not just a trend.
The Craft Behind Each Bag
“Mistry” comes from “Karigar” - that’s Hindi for artisan. My team and I work from our New Delhi workshop, no assembly lines here. Each bag, like the Selina, takes 9+ hours and lots of steps: cutting, hand-stitching, finishing. Our women artisans, especially in Ranipet, Chennai, make our handwoven leather handbags - their skill shows in every piece.
Materials That Make the Difference
I pick only good stuff:
- Premium leathers (top-grain, vegetable-tanned leather bags)
- Sumptuous suede in deep colours
- Croc print leather bag finishes, animal prints, metallics
- Bamboo handles, antique studs, quality cotton lining
Bags for Real Life
I design for today:
- Totes & carryalls for work and travel
- Shoulder and crossbody bags in minimalist luxury purses style - over 200 finishes
- Handwoven leather handbags for craft lovers
- Clutches & minis for bold moments
I’m based in Delhi, proud to be Indian, and every piece is made for you, wherever you are.

My Story
We’re Mistry, tucked away in Delhi, just doing our thing. Started out scribbling ideas, now Vogue and Grazia know our name. We’re not some big factory - every piece, stitched slow by hand, takes its sweet time. If you want quick, nah, that’s not us. We want you to feel the craft, not just carry a bag or shoe, but a bit of our story. Real luxury, real slow.
My Work
Handcrafted Leather Bags & Shoes - We make clutches, totes, shoulder bags, ballet flats, loafers, and Dupe Tabi flats for all.
