Welcome to Karma Totes
We keep things simple, featuring timeless designs, natural fabrics, and the belief that fashion should feel good both inside and outside.
Our totes are handcrafted by women from underserved communities, using sustainable materials and traditional textile techniques. With every stitch, these women develop skills, earn fair pay, and take steps toward a brighter, more independent future.

Founder's Story
Why I Started Karma Totes and Why It Matters to Me
I have always been drawn to things that feel genuine — the rhythm of nature, the beauty of handmade work, and the silent strength of women who uphold families and communities, often without recognition.
After earning two master's degrees, crossing two continents, and spending twenty years in the corporate world, I had built a life I was proud of. Yet quiet restlessness kept pulling at me, a desire for something more rooted, more personal.
In 2023, I returned to my hometown of Hyderabad, India. This move was not just a relocation, but a reconnection with something more profound: the Earth, the women I admired growing up, and the belief that meaningful work can also be beautiful.
