7 Fantastic Made-in-India Leather Handbags For Classy Women

Women's Leather Bags

Indian leather makers have done well for themselves, making their mark not only on the national platform, but taking it much beyond the borders. They are experts in their craft and it is especially commendable when they blend in Indian traditional aesthetics, employ local artisans, boost local artwork and yet make their leather handbags appealing to an international audience.

I’ve recently come across these irresistible bags from made-in-India brands that just had to be curated for the modern, classy women who prefer minimalism and generous bling in equal measure. Leather by itself is a sustainable material, though the means to acquire it must be cruelty-free. Here’s a round-up of the bags that I hope you enjoy as much as I did scouting for them.

Hidesign has been a pioneer of sorts and has only grown from strength to strength over the years.

Da Milano though sounds like an Italian swanky label, is very much our desi fire-brand when it comes to bags, both for men and women, office to travel and all things in betweens.

Adamis has been making amazing bags for decades now, though it is yet to get its due. I was pleasantly taken aback when I visited their store in SGC mall, Mumbai.

Rohit Bal, a true blue designer label from one of the biggest designers our country has produced. I chanced upon their bags on Amazon and this doctor bag is clearly a class apart.

Kompanero is the most promising upcoming brand to watch out for in the leather space. I love the soft, supple leather in their bags as opposed to the stiffer variant in highly structured bags.

Holii has been an old favorite for their colorful and practical bags. As a sister brand of Hidesign, the leather follows the same rigor and ethical practices as the parent company.

Trezo is a relatively lesser known brand, but the little I saw of this brand on Amazon and Instagram has been convincing enough to earn a spot on this list.

Mother to three lovely boys and wife of a banking professional, I am extremely passionate about a host of topics, bags being one of them. For the record, the others are - makeup, travel, photography, in no particular order. Here I share my perspective on the Indian as well as the international bag-scene. As a youngster I would spend most of my money on bags and carry one according to my outfit. It is this love that I express through this blog. Needless to say, any suggestions for improvement, even healthy criticisms, are highly encouraged. Hope you enjoy your stay here and find something useful to help you on your next bag purchase!
