About Us

Our Story: The Spirit of Travel

Travel is at the heart of everything we do at Chuupul Leather, a New Orleans–based brand specializing in handcrafted full-grain leather bags and travel accessories. For us, travel is more than movement—it’s the stories we share, the dreams we chase, and the connections we make along the way. We design luxury leather backpacks, duffels, and handbags that celebrate the beauty of travel and the togetherness it brings.

The name Chuupul, meaning “together,” reflects our belief that travel unites people—whether reuniting with loved ones, embarking on grand adventures, or simply navigating daily life. Each of our designs is made to move with you: durable, versatile, and timeless.

Crafted for Every Journey

Chuupul Leather is more than a collection—it’s your travel companion. From leather backpacks and crossbody bags to handmade duffel bags and satchels, each piece is created to balance functionality with quiet elegance. Our signature warm brown and tan tones help you build a collection that never goes out of style, while sustainable materials and exceptional craftsmanship ensure your bag lasts for years to come.

Ethical Sourcing, Exceptional Craftsmanship

We believe great design should honor both people and the planet. That’s why our leather is ethically sourced from byproducts of the agricultural industry, ensuring nothing goes to waste. Every piece is cut, stitched, and finished by skilled artisans who share our passion for quality and care.

Our mission is simple: to create durable, stylish leather goods that travel beautifully through every chapter of your life. With Chuupul, you’re not just carrying a bag—you’re carrying a story that’s still unfolding.
