What are these "affordable designer" bags?
Let's keep it real! The word "designer" is usually synonymous with overpricing. But design actually has nothing to do with the price tag; it's actually all about thoughtfulness. It's about silhouettes, materials, textures, stitching, structure and the emotion that a bag gives you when you carry it. At Etcetera, every single bag, irrespective of the price, gets the same design thinking and the same attention to detail.
Here is what makes our under-₹5000 designer handbags better:

2. Cruelty-Free Always

A bag shouldn't just look good in photos; it should handle your daily chaos with grace. Our bags are built for that.
4. Timeless over Trendy
Trends come and go. Style stays. We design bags you won’t get bored of in two months.
