About MAHI Leather

Every MAHI bag is lovingly handmade to order, that way we reduce waste and personalise the bag to your requirements. These bags are handmade in India by artisans skilled in traditional leather craft; they are designed in London for the urban traveller, stylish and made to last. The MAHI bag uses the simple beauty of natural materials: 100% supple Indian cows’ leather, dyed with natural vegetable dyes; 100% cotton linings, sturdy brass fittings and YKK zips. My designs are classically simple but with an attention to detail that makes these bags far more than just a fashion accessory: handles that are sturdy and comfortable to hold, straps that are fully adjustable and padded; carefully placed pockets for security and convenience. MAHI takes its name from the MAHI river that runs through Rasjasthan and Gujarat on its three hundred and sixty mile course. For many this is a sacred river and in a country where one hundred and three million people lack safe water its significance is more than symbolic; that’s why MAHI donates $1.50 from the sale of each bag to Frank Water, a UK based charity which has helped over three hundred thousand people gain access to clean water since 2005. So far we've donated enough money to provide over 4 million people in India with water testing kits. Read their story
