Our Workshop
Our workshop is located in Kanpur, Northern India. In the 19th Century, the city became a center of excellence for leatherwear and saddlery manufacture and would soon earn itself the title: Manchester of the East.
Handed down from generation to generation, it’s these skills that set MAHI apart from the mass produced throwaway fashion that we’ve become so accustomed to.
Timeless styles made with the strongest cuts of leather, a byproduct of local farming, handmade and shipped direct to you to maximize value & sustainability. Meet the makers below.
