In the heart of Tbilisi in Georgia, amidst cobblestone streets and vibrant markets, a deep passion for craftsmanship was kindled, and set in motion the chain of events that would bring luxury leather goods brand Qisabags to life.

In a cosy corner of a home studio, surrounded by the rich aroma of leather and the steady sound of a sewing machine, a dream took shape, and what started as a modest desire to create soon blossomed into something remarkable. Each stitch, each carefully crafted detail, narrates a tale of dedication and artistry, and Qisabags has gone on to become a highly sought-after name in the fashion sphere.

Founder Ekaterina Ramishvili, the creative force behind Qisabags, has invested her heart and soul into crafting distinctive handmade leather pieces, with each bag in her range serving as a symbol of the evolution from simple beginnings to international recognition. With an acute attention to detail and a commitment to quality, Qisabags’ creations swiftly captivated discerning shoppers on Etsy – the platform where she first launched her line. In no time, Ekaterina found herself ranked among the top 1.7 per cent in the industry, celebrated for her flawless craftsmanship and unique style, and today, Qisabags are available via the brand’s very own website, www.qisabags.com.
