36 Years Like No Other A Journey of Passion, Art, and Purpose

A one-of-a-kind product starts with a one-of-a-kind story. Inspired by art and the emotions it evokes, the Basu family set out to give customers something different. Products made with raw skill and unwavering passion, each infused with deep meaning and thoughtful craftsmanship. What they created
was more than just a handbag: Wearable works of art that bring joy to the lives of those who carry them and to the artists who helped to create them, and with that, Anuschka was born in 1988.

We have come a long way. Now in our 36th year, we’re incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished and are excited to continue this journey together, creating meaningful connections and empowering the hands that create.

Beautiful Beginnings

In 1988, Roma Basu, the original storyteller, envisioned a world where art, function, and fashion
could come together to uplift communities and empower lives. She wanted a way to connect the artisan with the consumer and tell stories through beautiful artwork and flawless leather accessories. Roma's talents coupled with her husband Swapan's keen eye for premium materials and flawless craftsmanship set the standard, they created something truly special. Together, they developed a unique hand-painting technique and production process that has been passed down through generations, ensuring Anushka remains true to its name, which means "like no other".

Made by Heads, Hearts, and Hands

Anuschka’s exquisite handbags and accessories spark curiosity and connect the artisan with the wearer through the power of art. From hand-painted handbags to beautifully designed scarves and umbrellas, each piece reflects the dedication and passion of the Basu family and their talented artists and craftsmen.

Roma coaches the artisans daily, while Bhaskar is always working on the next artwork and collaborating with the design team to bring his ideas to life.

What they’ve created is the perfect blend of design, quality, wearability, and art.

Others have tried to replicate these unique masterpieces, but failed to capture the originality and precisions that go into crafting an authentic Anuschka item.

Our Purpose

For nearly 30 years, the Anuschka community has remained committed to providing local villagers with the opportunity to earn a living by using their skills. Adherence to Fair Trade policies ensures that our artisans are paid higher wages than similarly skilled workers in India and are offered comprehensive health insurance and retirement benefits.

More than just employment, Anuschka has become a place where artisans and their families thrive. The Basus have always been champions of education, encouraging learning not only for their employees but also for their families. By empowering individuals with skills, knowledge, and support, we’re building a future that extends far beyond our products, creating opportunities for generations to come.
