At JAALD, we promote the concept of using nature friendly leather bags. The bags produced by us are 100% eco friendly and are made using goat leather which is tanned without the use of any chemicals.

Yes. At JAALD, we give you the pleasure of having your own handmade leather collectibles. Unlike products which are manufactured in factories, our aim is to make you feel truly special by making leather bags and accessories that are truly unique and personal.

Unfortunately, the leather industry worldwide is posing a serious threat to the environment. The techniques employed by them to process and make leather products involve the use of highly toxic pollutants. However, we at JAALD are committed to doing our bit by sticking to eco-friendly ways and staying clear of harmful chemical such as chrome. That is why the leather used in our bags and accessories is processed using traditional technique of “vegetable tanning”. This not only gives leather its unique natural characteristics but also is eco-friendly. This process of vegetable tanning is a bit more time consuming and expensive but we take pride in showing our gratitude towards the environment by not polluting it.

We neither raise the goat nor butcher them. We procure naturally tanned leather from tanneries, who receive the goat skin as a “by product” for the meat consumption market in that area. Which essentially means goat is not butchered for its skin. We have digged deeper into this area sometime back, and were reassured to find that the goats live a natural life in wilderness before their lives come to an end.

Yes, absolutely. Most of our bags – satchels, messengers, travelers, and backpacks - can easily carry camera, laptop, tablets and loads of other items easily. We also offer leather cases for smart phone and iPad. However, we suggest you take a look at the detailed description of each product in our range to match your requirements.

You can consider Satchel and Messenger bags listed in our shop for the purpose. Before you choose the bag size, please note that laptop’s dimensions is always the diagonal screen size, which makes the laptop width a bit smaller. So a 15.6 inch laptop might actually be 14 - 15 inches wide so will fit comfortably into a 15 inch Satchel or a Messenger. So the key is start with measuring the width, depth and thickness of your laptop, before you decide on the satchel/ messenger size. Don’t only consider the laptop screen size for making the purchase decision.

All our crossbody / shoulder bags have an adjustable strap with maximum length 25 inches (appx.) depending on the style.

Yes we do provide an option to mark a purchase as a gift, And yes! The recipient will not receive the invoice in that case. :)
