The gold gilding process is an ancient art that applies 24 karat gold to surfaces, with each bag using full-grain French calf napa leather. With each bag considered a work of art, it carries a QR code on its authenticity card which can be scanned to reveal the craftsman who created it.
Aranyani aims to make a positive impact on people and planet, and has introduced a number of measures that benefit the local community.
