Meukz is an innovative design label, producing a range of lifestyle handbags and accessories on a limited editions only series. Our arts and crafts inspired products are offered in two parallel collections, with each having its own distinct characteristics. We apply our extensive knowledge of haute couture in the manufacturing of all our products, ensuring exceptional quality and creative expression are in total harmony.
The “Sculpture-à-porter” collection is based on a unique concept of sculptures (made of wood, metal…), meticulously carved and hand stitched on leather and other textures. The “Zilpa” line consists of products in custom made novelty fabrics and handcrafted surface ornamentation.
Our philosophy is to bridge exquisite craftsmanship with affordability and exclusivity, and hence we create value added products at contemporary price points. By limiting the editions to only 300 nos. in each design, we offer our art savvy clients, the extraordinary satisfaction of high value and exclusivity that doesn’t even come with luxury brands at exorbitant prices.
We pride ourselves in making luxury affordable, yet very exclusive.
THE FINE ART OF MAKING…
At Meukz, the finest quality starts with the choice of raw materials. We work with highly regarded tanneries and use only the very best full grain leather hides. The materials for the sculptures are sourced from various reputed suppliers conforming to the highest standards. Many of our fabrics, designed in-house, are often made in handlooms, while some are fully handcrafted. The surface ornamentation is entirely handmade in the most traditional manner that dates back to several centuries.
The sculptures are made by various artisans who combine technology and tradition to skillfully carve them. Each sculpture is meticulously hand finished according to the natural characteristics of the type of the material, thus making each piece unique.
The making of our products in largely artisanal and the process is very minute with each step requiring a great degree of skill and precision. It involves various Haute Couture techniques requiring numerous manual operations and meticulous assembly of several parts that take days, sometimes weeks to complete. Each piece is then thoroughly verified before it is sent out for packing.

The artworks, surface ornamentation and novelty fabrics are commissioned to various craftsmen in the developing world. We respect, value and highly regard their contribution and hence dedicate a part of Meukz’s proceedings to their well-being.
