Why buy a hand-painted bag?

Namrata Mehta founded the label to answer a question most Indian fashion skips: what would a bag look like if it were treated as a canvas? The answer is florals, abstract strokes, portraits and geometric colour blocks laid onto structured leather and vegan-leather silhouettes, each finished by the atelier's artists and signed. Nothing here is a repeatable machine pattern, which is exactly why no two pieces are identical.

What to buy

  • Totes — Slate Grey and Mocha Elegance at INR 1,599, the everyday-carry option.
  • Mini baguettes and hobos — the Emerald Elegance Mini Baguette and the Denim Dusk Hobo at INR 1,799.
  • Handbags — Cinnamon Cocoa at INR 1,999, and the small handbags in Timeless Taupe, Crimson Crush, Peacock Panache, Olive Opulence and Mahogany Mystique at INR 2,099.
  • Bucket and shoulder bags — INR 2,249 across Olive Opulence, Crimson Crush, Timeless Taupe, Charcoal Chic and Mahogany Mystique.
  • Box and Aspire totes — the Mocha Elegance Box Tote at INR 2,499, and the Aspire totes at INR 3,599 in Cinnamon Cocoa, Charcoal Chic, Mocha Elegance and Mahogany Mystique.

This is the kind of label that normally lives in a design store or a founder's studio pop-up rather than a multi-brand site, and Stylera stocks it at full range. The honest trade-off with hand-painted finishes is care: they want dry storage and gentle wiping, and they will not shrug off the abuse a plain coated tote survives.

Frequently asked questions

Are Strokes bags really hand-painted?

Yes. Each piece is finished by the atelier's artists rather than machine printed, and every bag is signed. That means no two are exactly identical, so the piece you receive will vary slightly from the photograph.

What bag shapes does the collection cover?

The 64-piece range spans totes, hobo and shoulder bags, bucket bags, mini baguettes, handbags and clutches. Totes such as Slate Grey and Mocha Elegance are Rs. 1,599, and the bucket bags in Olive Opulence, Crimson Crush, Timeless Taupe and Charcoal Chic are Rs. 2,249.

What do Strokes bags cost?

Most sit between Rs. 1,599 and Rs. 2,499. The Denim Dusk Hobo and the Emerald Elegance Mini Baguette are Rs. 1,799, the Cinnamon Cocoa Handbag is Rs. 1,999, and the Mocha Elegance Box Tote is Rs. 2,499.

Where can I see the paintwork in person?

The range is on display at our flagship store at Aurum Square, Navi Mumbai, which is worth doing for a hand-painted piece because the texture of the paint is hard to judge from a photo. Online orders ship pan-India with 7-day returns.
