Jaipur, India
GABAYA began with a simple refusal: that a beautiful bag should not require an animal. We make handbags from vegan leather in a workshop in Jaipur, in small runs, in shapes meant to outlast the season they were made in.
One
Design in consideration
Every shape starts on paper and stays there until it earns its place. We draw few pieces, and we keep them in the collection.
Two
Source vegan leather
We work only in vegan leather — 100%, no animal hide anywhere in the bag, lined in polyester and cut to reduce waste.
Three
Handcraft in Jaipur
Panels are set by hand, edges burnished, hardware fitted one piece at a time by a small team we know by name.
“Beauty, without compromise.”
What We Stand For
Vegan, entirely
100% vegan leather. No animal hide in any piece we make.
Made by hand
Cut, stitched and finished in a small Jaipur workshop.
Made to be kept
Built for years of use, not a season of attention.
