Chiaroscuro

The first thing that comes to mind when we talk of Chiaroscuro are the colours {Raisin, Tomato, Slate, Lotus, Pine, Cobalt and more}.

This only highlights how each piece is like an individual with special characteristics.

One of the finest crafters of leather bags, this one is slightly on the pricey-er side. But you get your money’s worth with their messengers, backpacks, slings, laptop bags and overnighters. Be it the intricately embossed lion head or the Calcutta-inspired hand-pulled rickshaw printed on leather jholas, we love almost everything in their collection.

A leather boutique from G-town, this is a gallery where you can pick up stylish bags. They do have a store in HKV and you can order over Whatsapp as well. Catering only to women, the place also does jackets and shoes. We love their wallets and clutches especially the ones adorned with jacquard and Rajasthani mirror work. And the best part? They won’t burn a hole in your pocket.

Craft Concepts

Craft Concepts has well-made, quality leather goods that are just the right balance between traditional artisanship and modern fashion aesthetics. We recommend these bags for carrying books, daily items or even a laptop. They sell them domestically, but the export quality makes it a win for us.  They're economically-priced and we adore it more so because they're perfect for gifting men some exquisite messengers.

Java Plum

With contemporary hand-crafted wallets, shoulder bags, slings, office bags and totes, Java Plum focusses on grain, texture and most of all, durability.

Cord

Cord has been on our wish-lists for a while now. They do some amazing prints on canvas and leather bags and their design aesthetic is clean and minimal. We have been great fans of their Hemicycle bag {the shape itself is lust-worthy} and the classic black leather tote. If you’re in the market for something tiny and cute, we’d recommend the Flyleaf Sling or their envelope laptop sleeves.

Price: INR 2,000 onwards

Contact: +91 8447773603 or follow them on Facebook here and Instagram here.

Risa

Doing tie and dye on leather bags, as well as using traditional crafts to embellish classic leather items, Risa pays attention to detailing and intricate embossing. The brand explores indigenous craftsmanship with luxury designs, meaning they use specialised modern production techniques with traditional hand-tooling, punching and embroidery.
