About Us
LEATHERWALLA is founded d in 1997 by Venktesh Sharma the creative force behind all, a
family-owned lifestyle brand based in Pushkar, Rajasthan, India. With over twenty-five years of
experience in making fine leather products LEATHERWALLA brings authenticity to every
product created.
LeatherWalla stands out for the sensuous naturalness of its high quality leathers and the
smooth soft glow of its solid brass fittings in the leather goods it handicrafts. We believe in
sharing the
appeal of creative handmade designs with every person. An enthusiasm for taking the finest
products and also producing something stunning that every person has the chance to
appreciate.
Exquisite and stylish bags are all here to captivate you just at one look. Attention to detail are
the foundation with which we create our products.
Using the highest grade of leather,
we carefully cut each piece from the strongest part of the hide.
We have 15 years experience working in various sustainability focused projects. This has
opened our eyes to the reality of humanities disposable lifestyle and led us to create a fashion
brand whose products were beautiful, functional, affordable and tackle waste from every angle.
The ways we achieve this is by using natural and waste materials to create our bags in timeless
styles that will outlive the micro trends and seasons. The bags are hard wearing and made to
last, keeping them out of landfill for as long as possible.
We currently operate in India and the UK, with a combined work force of over 100 artisans. Our
recruitment process focuses on tackling poverty and homelessness through the recruitment of
vulnerable people both in India and the UK. We have partnered with the Hope Centre, our local
homeless charity who provides background support for our employee's in the UK.
We are a member of www.bafts.org.uk - The British Association of Fair Trade Shops and
Suppliers and we are partnered with The Woodland Trust to offset our carbon footprint.
We are strong advocates of slow fashion, a term which describes our battle against reckless
consumerism in the fashion industry (fast fashion). It encouraging consumers to slow down and
make more conscious decisions by asking a few simple questions. Our ethos is complete
transparency, and on each of our product pages we endeavour to answer any questions you
may have.
