The Essentials Story was born out of one question: What kind of accessories are truly essentials for our lives? We believe that accessories should be functional, timeless, and sustainable with easily accessible compartments to store all your daily essentials. We source our materials locally in India, from sustainable sources, and craft our bags in factories with decades of experience in servicing the luxury market.

We are a socially minded enterprise: for every sale, we also give back to women and children in Mumbai’s slums while also putting a spotlight on stories of optimism around the world.

We believe in thoughtfully designed bags that you will love beyond one season. We are passionate about designing pieces that have the functionality and versatility to be used for life. We recognize that every person and situation is unique, so these handy packs and bags can be worn in different ways, come in different colours to suit your vibe, and are gender-neutral. Wear them to work, on holiday, or in the evening, adapting them to suit your needs.
