About Palette

Made by hand. Meant to last. Designed for every version of you.

Who we are

Palette is a homegrown luxury accessories label founded by Rishma — a designer with over a decade of experience in handcrafted bags.

Every Palette bag is hand-woven from the first knot to the last stitch, slow-made in small batches, and packed with the same care that went into making it. We work with rich textiles, hand-loomed structures, and considered silhouettes —producing pieces that are genuinely one-of-a-kind, because the human hand does not repeat itself in exactly the same way, and we believe that individuality is part of true craftsmanship. This is slow fashion in the truest sense. Not as a label, but as a practice.

What we make and why

Handcrafted luxury should have a meaningful place in a woman's life, whether for everyday expression or life's special occasions.

Our bags move. From a work morning to a festive evening, from a casual weekend to a wedding where you want to be remembered. They are designed to hold their presence in every room — because true luxury belongs wherever you choose to carry it.

And when it comes to giving, a Palette bag is perhaps the most considered choice you can make — something beautiful, handcrafted, and made to be treasured. Whether it’s a milestone, a celebration, or simply someone who deserves something extraordinary, there is a Palette piece for every moment worth marking.

Our design philosophy

Rooted in craft. Unmistakably contemporary.

Palette draws from the richness of traditional craft techniques and gives them a thoroughly contemporary form. Our weaving methods carry the spirit of slow, skilled handwork — reimagined through a modern design lens that makes each piece as relevant on a global runway as it is at an Indian celebration.

The result is a bag that carries the soul of traditional craft, yet is unmistakably contemporary in spirit—crafted to become a lasting part of the stories it accompanies.

Thoughtfully Made

Time, Thought, Skill & a little Heart

creates a Palette bag.

Every Palette bag begins long before the first knot is tied—with the exploration of materials, the refinement of proportions, and countless decisions that shape its final form. Only when every detail feels considered does the making begin.

Our collections are produced in limited quantities, allowing every piece to retain the individuality, precision and care that only handcrafted work can offer.

Because the things made with the greatest care are often the ones we keep the longest.

"A bag should feel like it was made for you. Because at Palette, it was."
