The Leather Garden Introduces Saaya | साया Festive 2025 Collection

The Leather Garden presents Saaya | साया, its Festive 2025 collection inspired by the quiet elegance of light and shadow. ‘Saaya’ meaning shadow in Hindi, captures the essence of the line subtle, poetic, and timeless. It is a collection that draws from India’s rich heritage while embracing the ease and refinement of modern design.

At the heart of Saaya lies the belief that every shadow carries a story. Each bag in the collection is crafted as a canvas where shadow and light meet, highlighting textures, embroidery, and sculptural forms. Hand embroidery, delicate beadwork, and detail elevate the bags into heirloom-worthy creations designed not just for the season, but to be cherished across time.

Speaking about the collection, founder and creative director Neeharika shares:
“Behind every piece in this collection are not just materials and techniques, but countless hours of handwork, where every bead, stitch, and detail has been placed with care and a deep belief in creating something that will outlast time. It’s meant for the woman who appreciates artistry over trend and carries pieces that speak of heritage and heart.”

The collection takes visual cues from the silhouettes of jharokhas, courtyards, and palatial architecture. Through muted earthy tones, rich fabrics, and subtle pops of festive colour, Saaya mirrors the quiet luxury of dusk light spilling across stone walls or marble floors. Rooted in minimalism yet layered with cultural nuance, the collection is both contemporary and deeply connected to heritage.

Signature designs include the Seher Potli (crafted in gold, ivory, blush, blue, and black), the Rangrez, Tara, and Sitara Potlis, sculptural barrel bags like Rooh, Raaz, and Mehfil, as well as versatile mini bags such as Savera, Sukoon, and Khwab. Metallic statement pieces like the Sham bags in gold and silver bring in a festive brilliance, making the line versatile for both celebratory evenings and timeless wardrobes.
