Valentine’s Day gifting doesn’t have to begin and end with roses and restaurant reservations. This year, consider something that lasts longer than a bouquet and feels far more personal: a beautifully crafted

\n\n

bag from a homegrown Indian label. Whether you’re buying for yourself, your Valentine, or your Galentine, these Made-in-India names prove that love, much like good design, is best when it’s thoughtful.

Louv Heart by Akinna

For the one who believes less is more, Akinna delivers understated sophistication. This homegrown luxury label produces full-grain leather handbags handmade in India using responsibly sourced materials and LWG-certified tanneries. Minimal shapes, bold hardware and its signature emerald-green lining give the bags a distinct identity. Pick the Louv Heart in Fiery Red. Handcrafted in India from rich pebbled leather, it’s finished with a bold gold chain, versatile crossbody strap and a fiery twist on a classic heart.

If she screenshots every bag she sees on Instagram, Miraggio might already be on her wishlist. The brand bridges the gap between luxury-inspired design and affordability. From structured totes to sleek crossbodies, Miraggio caters to the modern, fashion-conscious woman. And on V-day, get your hands on their Forever Heart Bag, which is a playful yet chic crossbody that adds instant charm to any outfit. Crafted in high-gloss patent PU, this blush-pink heart-shaped bag features scalloped edges for a distinctly feminine touch.

Foyer Tote V by Mistry

If you want clean lines, sculptural silhouettes and zero fuss, pick this bag.
\n Founded by designer Ronak Kapoor, Mistry is for the woman who appreciates geometry and restraint. Crescent-shaped minis and architectural bucket bags define its aesthetic. And we love the Foyer Tote V, which has space for all of your essentials and oodles of style. It is woven with 100% genuine leather, and designed to elevate any ensemble.

Gaia Bucket Bag by Wicker Weaves

If your Valentine lives in resortwear year-round, Wicker Weaves is your answer.
\n The brand works with natural materials like rattan, straw and cane, finished with handcrafted detailing and cruelty-free trims. These are bags that feel equally at home at a beach brunch or a summer wedding. The ideal pick is their Gaia bucket bag that carries a lot of charm, inspite of its size.

Lune Shoulder Bag by Nappa Dori

Long before “homegrown” became a buzzword, Nappa Dori was setting the benchmark.
\n Blending vintage aesthetics with utilitarian craftsmanship, the brand offers everything from leather satchels to travel trunks. With stores in India and global cities like London and Dubai, Nappa Dori represents a rare success story. If your Valentine appreciates heritage with a modern twist, Nappa Dori’s handcrafted leather pieces range from the Lune Shoulder Bag (sophisticated and timeless) to the Mini Voyager Sling (compact and stylish) and Cassidy Tote (perfect as a Valentine’s work-to-weekend bag).

Clean cuts. Contemporary colour stories. A gender-fluid philosophy. Tann-ed is rooted in modern design and is perfect for those who prefer fluid style over rigid categories. You can pick either Emmy Metal Silver & Gold Mini Bag or their Weave Tote. These handcrafted gems feel special for gifting: the metallic Emmy bag in silver and gold stands out for nights out, while the Weave Tote offers a chic, everyday companion.

Bijoux By Tiger Marron

If you want to truly go the sleek way, opt for Tiger Marron and their fun and stylish bags, especially Bijoux. A piece of jewellery in bag form, it has two versatile handle options! You can also use it as a wristlet with the sleek dog hook or switch to the irregular pearl handle that embraces imperfection for a more ornamental touch when you’re feeling dressy. Despite its compact size, it fits your phone, cash, cards, and makeup, making it the perfect stylish companion for both formal and casual gatherings.
