About US

HOCHÉ was born from a personal experience in 2022, when I noticed my sister disheartened over her new vegan (PU) bag getting scratched within weeks after purchase . Despite investing in a reputed brand, the bag did not last, leading to frustration. When I asked why she did not opt for real leather instead, her response was simple: genuine leather bags in India are either too expensive, outdated in design, or lack variety and quality hardware.

The conversation stayed with me. After looking into it further , I realized she had a point — there were not many Indian brands offering modern, real leather bags at an accessible price. Plus, even those that did often used poor-quality hardware, rushed craftsmanship and no warranty.

Determined to solve this, I teamed up with my sister, a NIFT Delhi graduate specializing in leather design, and a family friend whose expertise in leather bag manufacturing spans decades and have been catering to top brands around the world. Together, we set out to create something new — a homegrown brand rooted in innovation, contemporary design, and high quality materials. After two years of perfecting prototypes, sourcing luxury-grade hardware from the same suppliers as global luxury brands, and refining our leather, HOCHÉ was born and ready to launch in 2024.

Combining Parisian-inspired style, a nod to effortless elegance with the time-honoured legacy of Indian craftsmanship, HOCHÉ seamlessly blends global style with artisanal craftsmanship, offering ageless, versatile, and functional designs that cater to the modern lifestyle. Each piece embodies our commitment to innovation and quality, offering contemporary bags crafted from the finest materials and delivered in well considered packaging—all at an accessible prices.
