A women-led leather studio shaped by generations of craftsmanship
Duffle Studio began with friendship, family, and a deep respect for craftsmanship.
My name is Fatima, and along with my closest friend Zohrat, I started Duffle Studio to carry forward a craft that has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.
Growing up in Udaipur, Rajasthan, leather was never just a material to me—it was part of everyday life. The narrow lanes of the city are home to skilled leather artisans whose work has quietly shaped Udaipur’s reputation for decades. This world wasn’t something I discovered later; it’s something I grew up around.
For me, this craft runs especially deep. My father has spent over 30 years working as a leather craftsman, mastering the art of cutting, stitching, and finishing premium leather by hand. I grew up watching raw hides slowly transform into bags built to last—strong, functional, and beautiful in their simplicity. That process taught me patience, respect for materials, and the value of doing things properly.
Duffle Studio is my way of carrying that legacy forward.
With Zohrat by my side as a creative partner and co-builder, we decided to bring these skills to a global audience through Etsy—while staying rooted in the same workshops, tools, and techniques that have been trusted for generations.
Every bag we create—whether a duffle, weekender, backpack, or crossbody—is made using high-quality leather, chosen for its durability, rich texture, and ability to age beautifully. These are pieces designed to travel with you, gather stories along the way, and become better with time.
