Frequently Asked Questions

PRODUCT DETAILS

Who is Anuschka?

Anuschka is Roma’s creation. She loved the name Anuschka, but she had already named her three children Bhaskar, Radhika and Priyanka. When she decided to share her love for art through handbags, her newest child became Anuschka, meaning “like no other.”

What is Anna by Anuschka?

We created Anna by Anuschka almost 10 years ago as an affordable luxury collection. The Anna by Anuschka Collection is painted by our younger, up-and-coming artisans while our master artisans paint Anuschka. With Anna, we are focused on bringing you a wider variety of shapes and artworks while still offering the best quality leather products at a great value.

What is Vanya Lara?

Our newest addition to the collection is Vanya
Lara, a line of hand-crafted jewelry made in Jaipur, India using traditional
gemstone setting techniques honed over many decades. Each piece is carefully
crafted with fine attention to detail and is built to last. With Vanya Lara,
you can enjoy timeless and durable jewelry that you can wear time and time
again and all of our Jewelry is hypoallergenic.

How is Anuschka different from any other hand painted accessories in the market?

Anuschka is the only family owned, designed, and ethically produced hand-painted brand. We offer original artwork and unrivaled quality at an incredible value. We are the premier, original hand painted brand of hand-painted accessories available at select boutiques and shoe stores across 20 countries. Like every trend setting brand, we have our imitators, but we can assure you that our product speaks for itself as it has for more than 30 years. Each Anuschka is hand-cut and crafted from fine leather, then individually painted, not by professional artists, but by young men and women who have been trained by us and enjoy the benefits of our fair-trade policies. High grade leather, signature lining, branded hardware, original art, years of experience, and excellent quality distinguish us from the counterfeits. Even today, a family member does a final check of every bag before hand-signing it. Click here to learn more about the Anuschka Story.

Where and how are the Anuschka handbags made?

Anuschka bags are designed in USA by Bhaskar Basu. Bhaskar was taught by his mother, Roma, who continues to guide him today. They are then made in the family owned and operated workshop in India. Every Anuschka leather product starts with hand cutting the top grain leather and selecting the best pieces. Anuschka-trained artisans sketch and individually hand-paint every piece. Traditional crafters who have learned the trade from generations before them use old school techniques to create tailor made pieces. Every handbag goes through multiple stages of inspection by our quality team to ensure that the art is perfect. A family member does a final review of every bag before it is hand signed and packed. Please click here to learn more about the stages of creating an Anuschka product.

What type of leather is used to create an Anuschka product?

Anuschka handbags and wallets are crafted from high-quality, soft top-grain nappa leather that has been specially treated to function like a canvas for the distinctive Anuschka art designs. This type of leather is known for its durability and suppleness, making it ideal for creating beautiful, long-lasting accessories. Click here to learn more.

What is Vegetable Tanning?

Vegetable tanning is an intricate, traditional method of tanning leather dating back to approximately 6000 BC. It’s an organic method relying on natural vegetable tannins from bark and other plant tissues. Vegetable tanning is a time-consuming process requiring highly skilled craftsmen. This tanning is better for our environment and allows us to explore new forms of wearable art by incorporating paintings and tooling along with our classic hand paintings.  The resulting collection is a line of more structured leather bags with specially designed artwork.

What is tooled Leather?

We were inspired by ancient India tooling techniques passed on through generations. Exquisite hand-drawn motifs and embossed tooling showcase a gorgeous new addition to our collection.  We used our new Vegetable Tanned leathers to create these new arrivals.  The unique characteristics of this leather allow the tooling to look more defined and therefore, more beautiful.

What is our All- New Wanderlust Collection?

Our latest collection of fabric bags, is expertly crafted from premium Wanderlust fabric that is both lightweight and water-resistant. As a nod to our heritage in leather goods, we've added genuine leather trim that perfectly complements the signature Anuschka artwork prints. Our commitment to quality craftsmanship and unwavering integrity is reflected in every detail of these stunning fashion accessories. We invite you to explore our new range and discover the perfect bag to accompany you on your next adventure.
