Heritage
Six decades on Colaba Causeway, told through the moments that shaped the house.

A counter on Colaba Causeway
Rasulbhai Adamji opens a small leather atelier next to the Colaba Police Station. The first pieces are hand-cut at the back of the shop.
1972
Pattern B688 is cut
The original shoulder bag pattern enters the atelier. Forty thousand of them follow over the next five decades.

The first export ship
A consignment of pen cases and wallets sails for the United Kingdom. International stockists begin to find their way to Mumbai.
