By a woman. for women.

As a woman, I was tired of choosing between beauty and practicality. Most tote bags either looked good and failed by midday, or carried everything but looked like an afterthought. I wanted one bag that understood real life. So we built it, or should I say DESIGNED BY FRUSTRATION. A tote that works as hard as you do - with intelligent compartments to organize essentials, secure zippered sections for valuables and makeup, a dedicated key holder for the one thing that always disappears, easy-access mobile storage, and even a separate laptop compartment.
Because women should never have to choose between a bag that looks beautiful and one that actually understands them.

All Day Energy

No, this isn’t about supplements. It’s about finally carrying a bag that can keep up. From first coffee runs and client meetings to grocery stops, airport dashes, after-work plans, and everything in between - modern life doesn’t slow down and neither should the bag that moves through it with you.
Because when your days are dynamic, your bag should be more than beautiful - DESIGNED FOR MOMENTUM, BUILT FOR YOUR ENERGY.

Since 2019

What began in July 2019 with just 25 bags, one exhibition, and Anuradha’s (Founder – ABIS) stubborn belief in Indian craftsmanship, is now a movement stitched with purpose. Built on two radical ideas — that simplicity will always outlive excess, and sustainability should never be a luxury. Seven years later, that first small batch has grown into a living ecosystem of impact — over 100+ ARTISANS, 26 CRAFT CLUSTERS and 3 LAC+ CUSTOMERS who chose to carry this story, and to every artisan whose hands shaped it — this journey is yours as much as ours. OUR sincere GRATITUDE as WE march ahead.

not factory made. ever

No assembly lines. No shortcuts. No mass production disguised as craftsmanship. We work directly with craft communities ourselves — no middlemen, no diluted sourcing — because authenticity cannot be outsourced. 
From India’s CRAFT CLUSTERS to the MASTER BAG MAKERS of Dharavi, each bag passes through multiple skilled hands before it reaches yours. The result isn’t just a handbag — it’s a rare intersection of craft and construction, where no two pieces are ever exactly alike. When you carry an ABIS bag, you don’t just buy a product — you carry generations of skill, culture, and craftsmanship shaped by human hands.

Bag looks Good but space for lunch

The Bag looks amazing.. it’s good if you are planning to carry laptop, accessories and books. But could have made it little more spacious to keep the lunch box. It becomes really difficult to close.

Black Ajrak print

The bag is beautiful and the print is just lively. It’s suitable for office use, though a bit more space would be ideal, as the zipper doesn’t close if even one extra item is added. I really liked the separate compartments for bottles and small essentials.

had bought this shirt 2yrs back offline from their store. Still in love with it, the fabric is so nice and in spite it being a little large for my size it looks very chic.Love the buy!

Good quality laptop bag

The laptop bag I had ordered for was of good quality and looks fantastic. The picture of the bag on the site looked blue and grey but in person what I received was dark green. Luckily I liked this colour too.

How is this bag vegan and sustainable?

We believe sustainability goes beyond just materials — it’s about the entire journey of how a product is made. Vegan: We use high-quality faux leather and do not use animal leather in any part of the bag. Our handcrafted fabrics and kilims are made using cotton materials and natural dyes, while the inner lining is soft cotton with premium-quality fittings throughout. Sustainable: Every craft element is sourced directly from artisans across India without middlemen, and each bag is handcrafted by skilled bag makers in Dharavi, Mumbai. By ensuring ethical sourcing and fair wages, every ABIS bag supports genuine livelihoods while celebrating Indian craftsmanship responsibly.

Our focus is simple — creating a product you can trust and carry confidently for years.

How do I care for my bag?

A little care goes a long way in helping your bag look beautiful for years. We recommend regularly airing out your bag and avoiding long-term storage in closed wardrobes or plastic bags, especially in damp conditions. For everyday cleaning, simply wipe it with a dry or damp cloth. For tougher stains, use mild soap or detergent gently. Please do not machine wash, as this may affect the bag’s structure and shape.

What is your return or exchange policy?

As an artisanal and handmade brand, we encourage mindful purchases and aim to provide detailed product descriptions and images to help you make the right choice. However, if you’re not satisfied, we do offer exchanges in most cases (minus logistics costs).

For full details, please refer to our Returns & Exchange Policy in the website footer.

Will my bag look exactly like the product photos?

We make every effort to showcase our products as accurately as possible through detailed photography. However, because each bag is handcrafted and artisanal, slight variations in print placement, colour tone, or handcrafted detailing may occur. These subtle differences are a part of what makes every piece uniquely yours. The overall design, structure, dimensions, and core materials will remain exactly as shown.

Is this tote suitable for everyday office use?

Yes - it’s designed for everyday work use.Each bag is lightweight yet structured to comfortably carry your daily essentials, with thoughtfully placed compartments to keep everything organized. It’s built to handle the weight of a full workday while still feeling easy to carry from morning to evening.
