Crafted with Leather Love

 Leather craft is a centuries-old tradition that holds a special place in Indian culture and craftsmanship. It is an art form that involves the skilled manipulation of leather to create a wide range of products, including bags, shoes, belts, wallets, and more. Leather artisans across India have honed their craft over generations, mastering techniques that blend precision, creativity, and tradition.

The process of leather crafting begins with selecting the finest quality hides, sourced from ethically raised animals. These hides undergo a series of treatments to prepare them for crafting, including tanning, dyeing, and conditioning. Skilled artisans then cut, stitch, and shape the leather into the desired form, often incorporating intricate detailing and embellishments to enhance the final product.

One of the distinguishing features of Indian leather craft is the diversity of styles and techniques employed by artisans from different regions. For example, the vibrant colours and intricate embroidery of Rajasthani leather craft contrast with the minimalist elegance of leather goods from Tamil Nadu. Each region brings its unique flair and expertise to the craft, resulting in a rich tapestry of styles and designs.

At Punarnawa, we are passionate about preserving and celebrating the art of Indian leathercraft. Our collection of leather bags often paired with Banjaran embroideries, block-printed textiles, pays homage to this timeless tradition, showcasing the beauty, quality, and craftsmanship that define Indian leathercraft.
