GURGAON, India — Tan-Lad, a rising leather accessories brand from Gurgaon, is redefining everyday luxury with its uncompromising focus on design, functionality, and quality. In less than a year since launch, the brand has caught the industry’s eye for creating bags and accessories that combine timeless aesthetics with practical innovation. From laptop totes to compact keychains, every piece is engineered to last, offering elegance with purpose. With an ethos of quality over quantity, Tan-Lad champions personalization and sustainable practices, raising the bar for modern leather goods in India. Explore the full collection at www.tanlad.com.

At the core of Tan-Lad is co-founder and creative director Ladlee Maheshwari, whose design sensibility defines the brand’s identity. Her early experiments with customizing clothes hinted at a natural flair for reimagining fashion. At NIFT, she discovered leather as a medium—versatile, enduring, and full of character—which sparked a lifelong pursuit of the craft. After gaining hands-on experience across the industry, she founded Tan-Lad alongside her father, Rajkumar Sarda, who named the brand to reflect their shared vision. Maheshwari’s philosophy—anchored in honesty, utility, and originality—runs through every Tan-Lad design, giving each product a soul that customers connect with instantly.

In an industry dominated by mass production, Tan-Lad distinguishes itself with authenticity and thoughtful innovation. Collections such as the nostalgic Old-School line and the modern Serena Family highlight original silhouettes, luxury microsuede interiors, and endless customization options. Customers can tailor compartments, straps, and even leather combinations, ensuring every product is truly personal. Backed by a team of skilled artisans working in fair conditions, Tan-Lad also emphasizes sustainable choices, including reusable packaging and minimal waste production.

Looking ahead, Tan-Lad is set on expanding while staying true to its mission: creating timeless companions that merge beauty with function. The brand extends its promise beyond purchase, offering aftercare services like cleaning and restoration to ensure products endure for years, becoming heirloom-quality pieces. With each design, Tan-Lad challenges the industry’s status quo—proving that true luxury is not just about appearance, but about purpose, integrity, and longevity.
