Behind the craft

Hi, I'm Ksenia — bag designer and founder of Khelman Studio.  My work has been featured in Paris Fashion Week, ELLE and Glamour.

Khelman Studio is a small, made-to-order slow fashion brand dedicated to creating sustainable and long-lasting bags for a timeless and stylish wardrobe.

Creating every bag once it's ordered reduces waste to an absolute minimum, and because everything is made for you from scratch, you're welcome to customize your bag so I can make it a perfect fit.

Every order means the absolute world to me. Thank you so much for choosing to shop from a small and ethical fashion brand.

I started making bags back in 2008 when my favorite one fell apart — and I’ve been exploring shapes, leather, stitching, and structure ever since.

What began as a personal challenge became a lifelong love. Today, I split my time between making custom and ready-to-go bags, and helping others bring their ideas to life with bag-making classes and sewing patterns.

I believe a bag should be more than just something to carry things — it can be a memory, a feeling, a daily ritual, or a joyful reminder that you made something with your own two hands.​

✂️ Make It Perfect ✂️

Khelman Studio is deeply devoted to the perfect fit and minimal waste.
That’s why you’re warmly invited to choose your favorite design and customize it to make it truly yours.

 

Pick the lining that makes you smile when you open your bag, and add the pockets you need to keep everything organized just the way you like it.
You can also choose a different leather or hardware color.

 

Any color from the Color Palette is complimentary.

Simply leave a note with your customizations at checkout, or send me a message and I’ll be happy to create a custom listing for you.

Most Loved

“I love this bag. Seller had great communication to make sure size and style was perfect. This is the best purse I have ever owned because it has exactly how many pockets I need and exactly the right size strap. I don’t think I can go back to buying off the rack purses after this beauty.“

💌 Custom Reworks & Personal Touches

Have a bag you adore, but time took its toll? Send me a photo of your well-loved piece, and I’ll bring it back to life with the option to add a few thoughtful upgrades, if you wish. Remade bags have traveled with their owners for another decade.
