Our story

A legacy woven.
A new chapter, made personal.

Everyday essentials with roots in Bengal. Thoughtfully designed in Kolkata, and finished with a personal touch.

Our roots

Where our story begins

The House of Ganges comes from a family business rooted in Ganges Jute and Bengal’s textile manufacturing tradition.

Growing up around materials and making shaped our appreciation for the work behind a finished piece. With The House of Ganges, we bring that perspective to the things you carry every day.

A house of our own

Founded by Riya and Ricky Osatwal in 2018, The House of Ganges began with a shared interest in design and everyday usefulness.

Our collections bring together bags, wallets and accessories for work, travel and the moments in between. We look for a balance of considered proportions, practical details and colours you can make your own.

Our materials

Materials with character

From the texture of handloom and soft jute to the clean finish of animal-free PU leather, each material brings something different to our collections.

We choose materials to suit the design and explain them on each product page, so you know what you are bringing home.

The people behind each piece

Our Kolkata workshop brings design, development and making together.

It is here that ideas become samples, details are refined and our craftspeople work on the construction, stitching and finishing that give each piece its form.

Their skill is part of our story—and part of what you carry.

Brass letter stamps used for personalisation

Make it yours. Make it theirs.

A name. Your initials. A small reminder of someone special.

We offer complimentary monogramming across our products. Enter up to seven letters in the personalisation box when choosing your piece.

For yourself or someone you love, it is a simple detail that makes it personal.
