Since 1936 · Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Leather, woven by hand to outlast the trend.

Isvena is the design house built on the workshop of P.M. Rahamathulla & Co — fifteen hand-woven pieces, from the tall Verona tote to the Treccia belt, made one hide at a time.

The Signature Weave

Siena

A softly flared East–West basket gathered into a single rounded handle finished with a braided crown. The wide intrecciato gives it a supple, almost cushioned hand-feel that moulds to whatever it carries.

The silhouette that defines the house. Warm cognac, effortless with linen in summer and a camel coat in winter.

A Family in Leather Since 1936

A workshop, before it was a brand.

Our founder began as an apprentice leather trader in British Colombo in 1936. Four generations later, the same family runs the Chennai workshop of P.M. Rahamathulla & Co — and Isvena is its next chapter: the same hands, the same hides, and the same braid, presented for a global home.
