Chennai, we know, is synonymous with leather. Combining a contemporary, minimalist aesthetic with traditions of fine craftsmanship, Hydes Studio makes use of the city’s resources by creating artisanal leather goods. Hydes has a very modern design sensibility – simple lines and form that is married to function. With a collection of totes and slings, each meticulously designed and handcrafted by skilled local artisans, the brand makes for a pleasant change from mass-produced goods. Most importantly, its business ethic is rooted in sustainability with their raw material and hide sourced responsibly and with as little damage to the environment as possible. Customers can pick from a range of colours and finishes.
