Each piece is handmade from organically engineered paper mache, carrying with it subtle variations in shape, size, texture, weight, color, and finish. These natural differences are a mark of the maker’s hand and add to the charm, giving every article its own character and story.
Inspired by the timeless Indian motif of the elephant — a symbol of wisdom, protection, and prosperity — Gaja blends heritage storytelling with modern functionality. The bag features an intricate hand-woven pattern in deep navy, forming an abstract elephant silhouette that wraps gracefully across the surface. The contrast between the natural wool base and the bold patterning gives the piece a striking yet refined presence.
Crafted entirely by hand using Namda felting techniques, the felt is shaped, pressed, and finished by artisans whose families have preserved this craft for generations. The result is a bag that feels soft yet structured, expressive yet minimal.
Inside, Gaja is built for ease:
- a dedicated sleeve for your laptop,
- a phone pocket,
- another pocket for keys and small essentials.
The interior is spacious without feeling bulky, designed to keep everything organised and accessible throughout the day. Whether you’re heading to work, exploring the city, or traveling light, Gaja carries what you need with quiet confidence.
A perfect balance of craft and character, Gaja is made for those who appreciate bags that speak in form, pattern, and purpose.
