What makes a Strokes bag different?

Every piece is painted by artisans in Mumbai rather than machine-printed, so the layered brushwork carries a texture a printed panel cannot replicate. That is the appeal and also the caveat: no two bags come out exactly alike, so the piece you receive will vary slightly from the one photographed.

What to buy

  • Sling bags — the entry point at INR 1,499, in Hues of Blue and Ivory Lustre.
  • Mini baguettes — INR 1,799 in Rose Quartz, Citrus Burst, Emerald Elegance, Crimson Crush and Denim Dusk; compact enough for an evening out.
  • Tote bags — INR 1,599 in Cinnamon Cocoa, Mocha Elegance and Slate Grey, sized for daily carry.
  • Handbags — INR 1,999 in Periwinkle Blue and White, Cinnamon Cocoa, Latte Luxe and Mocha Elegance.
  • Box totes — the structured top of this range at INR 2,499, including Peachy Crane Paradise and Vanilla Taupe.

The Mini Baguette line and the box totes move fastest. Painted surfaces do need more care than a plain coated bag: keep them out of prolonged rain, wipe with a dry cloth rather than a wet one, and store the structured shapes stuffed so they hold. If you want to judge the paint texture before buying, the range is on display at our Aurum Square flagship in Navi Mumbai.

Frequently asked questions

How much will my bag differ from the photograph?

The shape, size and colour story stay the same, but the brushwork is painted by hand, so stroke placement and colour depth vary from piece to piece. Treat the photo as representative rather than exact.

How do I look after a hand-painted bag?

Keep it out of prolonged rain, wipe it with a dry or barely damp cloth rather than soaking it, and avoid solvent-based cleaners. Store the structured totes stuffed so they hold their shape.

Which size works as an everyday work bag?

The tote bags at INR 1,599 and the box totes at INR 2,499 are the ones sized for daily carry. The mini baguettes at INR 1,799 hold a phone, cards and a compact, and little else.

Can I see the bags in person before ordering?

Yes. The range is stocked at Stylera's Aurum Square flagship in Navi Mumbai, which is worth doing because paint texture is hard to judge from a photograph. Online orders ship pan-India with 7-day returns.
