There are a few modern, ethicalhandbags that stand out for the ways that their existence has shaped the Indian accessories industry and how consumers perceive, carry and shop for bags in India.
Chamar
After 2015, the beef ban allegedly rendered a lot of leather workers jobless. Artist and activist Sudheer Rajbhar searched for a material that could replace the leather and possibly provide opportunities to these artisans from backward communities. In 2017, a recycled rubber material made from waste close to leather and its feeling properties emerged as the heart of Chamar Studio. A dialogue surrounding skills and crafts from artisans, a designer and a new material to be tamed began. Chamar is a will of conserving crafts from a ban industry and community. Chamar creations and collections are activism flags of different realities of social movements taking place in the mindset of people from the community. Recycled rubber from the industry leftovers or discarded materials handcrafted cultural crafts heritage from the
Dalit community. The brand assures that it’s cruelty-free despite being a rebellion against the beef ban, it is waterproof for all seasons. Easy wash, easy repair, gender neutral and trendy with strong brand values in terms of style, quality and durability. In India ‘Chamar’ is an ethnic slur used to describe the Dalit community ostracized by the caste system. But the brand has made it their signature pride with the aesthetics they hold today.

Even designers like Anita Dongre, Sabyasachi and Manish Malhotra have expanded their creative genius towards designing their branded bags and loyal clientele of such brand names seem to love their bags. Since the 1930s handbags and evening bags have been essential fashion accessories for women. Practical in purpose and unique in design, they are embellished but novel in shape and sculpture. Designing on a dime was the way of the 1930s and women’s bags reflected these constraints during the day while casting them off in the evenings. With changing eras and times bags are the most important statement pieces for men and women. They evolved from tiny styles worn in the house to the practical sturdy styles we are celebrating with pride today.
