The Leather Laundry got covered by WhatsHot Delhi, a Delightful Handy Guide to Urban India

Summers are giving way to a crisp autumn breeze and that means it’s time to start shopping for the winter months. While certain fabrics obviously make more sense for cooler climes, leather is a must-have staple that not everyone experiments with. Well, this season we want you to step out of your comfort zone and do just that! Think beyond jackets and wallets with these indigenous brands who offer everything from quirky designs, customised orders to leather care.

SHOP

The Postbox

Not the leather wearing kinds? You can add a touch of it with the pre-washed jute and leather skimmed bags by this indie favourite.. The interesting thing that caught our eye was that naturally dyed block printed cotton takes centerstage in their leather laptop sleeves (Rs 589 – Rs 2,289), which come in two sizes – 15 x 10 inches and 13 x 10 inches. There are also handy pockets for your phone, notebook and wallet. Looking for a travel bag that makes a smashing statement?

Check out their sling bag (Rs 2,289) that’s made of ikat sourced from Andhra Pradesh and light tan leather. With two detachable straps, it can fit a laptop up to 15.4 x 13.4 inches and can be used as a backpack or a sling. There’s a lot more available on their website and the duo behind the brand continues to amaze us with their focus on eye-catching graphics, exciting prints and great design.

Taws

From minimalistic totes to pastels in shoulder bags, they have got one for each mood. The travel bags too are a steal with a price range of Rs 3,799 – Rs 6,500. Another plus is their wide range of colours that takes boring out of the equation. Free shipping and COD options across 350 cities in the country makes them pretty much the go-to place to pick your next leather goodie from.
