"Carrying Forward a Legacy — Sustainably

At Risa, we believe in creating beautiful pieces with purpose. That’s why all of our leather is upcycled — sourced from leftover hides that would otherwise be destined for landfills. These high-quality materials are carefully handpicked by our father and his team from various tanneries, ensuring that nothing goes to waste and every bag tells a story of thoughtful reuse.

Once selected, the leather travels to our partner small-batch workshops across India, where each handbag is lovingly handcrafted by skilled women artisans. These incredible women are not only preserving the art of traditional leather craftsmanship but are also supporting their families and communities through their work."
