The Beginning

Based in Thane,
Crafted for the World

All our products are crafted from high-quality fabrics — Kalamkari, Ikkat, printed cotton, and canvas — ensuring both durability and elegance. Whether for personal use or as thoughtful gifts, our bags are perfect for every occasion.

We started with a single workshop and a handful of artisan families. Each craftsperson brings their unique craft vocabulary into every stitch, dye, and weave.

What We Stand For

Four commitments.
No exceptions.

01

Rooted in Craft

Every stitch follows a tradition passed down through generations. We never rush what hands have perfected over centuries.

02

Honest Materials

Kalamkari cotton, Ikkat silk, handspun khadi — sourced directly from weaver cooperatives with full transparency.

03

Fair Hands

We pay artisans above market rates and list their names in every product — because anonymity is the opposite of pride.

04

Zero Waste Intent

Fabric offcuts become pouches. Damaged pieces become patchwork. We design the end of a bag before we begin it.

The Journey

The Founder

The person behind
every stitch.

Founder
Jai JoshiFounder, Koklass BagsThane, Maharashtra

Jai started Koklass in 2018 with a simple conviction: that beautiful, Indian-made things deserve to be seen, used, and celebrated every day — not just on special occasions. She still personally oversees every design, every material choice, and every bag that leaves the studio.

"I wanted to make something my mother would actually use — and be proud to carry."
