Our Story
Of functionality and beauty, style and sustainability, quality and affordability, leather and handloom, we design multi-faceted handbags for the multi-faceted woman, the seeker of balance.
Weaving the East to the West
"Every mother-daughter duo has a unique connection, one that is exclusive just to the two of them. For us, it was our mutual creative drive and love for travel. That meant although I was rooted in Calcutta I was fortunate enough to travel the world with my mother exploring world culture through a creative lens. These visually enriching experiences led me to notice the beautiful disparities between the East and West. Tan & Loom is a unity of dichotomies, a story that brings together geograpies as well as eras."

Making a statement, but minimally.
Tan & Loom presents the beauty of vibrant rich Indian handloom without compromising on modern minimalism. Our design formula is simple. We harmonize the vibrancy of Indian weaves with the poetic ageing legacy of vegetable tanned leather.
Premium made affordable
Tan & Loom is a second generation initiative. With this initiative we are moving towards a slower way of doing business, caring for our craftsmen, customer and planet in equal measures. We slow craft each handbag in-house at our 40-year-old heritage workshop. What this means for us is the ability to circumvent large factories and middlemen. What this means for you, is access to made to last handbags and accessories at a fraction of the expected price of genuine leather and handloom.
