Curator’s Note

In this bag, leather offers structure and durability, while Kutchi work brings texture, detail, and a deeply rooted visual language. They feel less like everyday accessories and more like collected pieces—practical in use, yet rich with the warmth of handwork and heritage.

Product Note
A large handmade Kutchi leather tote with a warm reddish-brown leather body and a hand-stitched circular motif on the front. The shape is generous and practical, making it the most spacious of the three Kutchi leather bags in this collection.

The design is simple but not plain. The leather carries natural tonal movement, while the stitched motif gives the front a quiet focal point. This is a useful everyday bag for someone who wants a handcrafted piece with heritage detail, but not an overly ornate surface.

It can carry daily essentials, a small notebook, scarf, pouch, wallet, phone, and other personal items. The shoulder handles make it easy to wear as a tote.

This is a one-of-a-kind handmade piece. Only one available.

Craft Note
This bag reflects a quieter side of Kutchi leather craft, where the emphasis is on material, stitching, and use. The front motif is hand-stitched into the leather, creating texture and visual rhythm without overwhelming the form of the bag.

The leather is warm, expressive, and naturally varied. Over time, with careful use, it may develop more softness and character.

Care Note

  • Keep away from water, oils, perfumes, and harsh cleaning products.
  • Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Store upright or lightly stuffed to help preserve the shape.
  • Avoid overloading the tote, as too much weight may strain the handles.
  • Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight.
  • Do not scrub the stitched motif.
  • For deep cleaning or conditioning, consult a professional leather cleaner.

Styling Note
This tote works beautifully with everyday clothing — denim, linen, cotton, handloom textiles, long dresses, simple sweaters, and neutral coats. It is a strong choice for someone who wants a functional leather bag with a handmade Indian craft detail that feels understated rather than decorative-heavy.

Shipping Note
Ships from the USA.

This piece ships from the House of Saaj studio in Massachusetts. It will be packed with care so the leather body and handles are protected during transit. Shipping timelines and charges are calculated at checkout.

Studio Note
This is a handmade leather tote. Natural leather creases, tonal variations, surface marks, slight asymmetry, hand-stitching irregularities, and small differences in finish are part of its handmade character. These details are not defects. They are part of the material’s story and the maker’s hand.
