Meet Shishir & Ragini Maharjan
Co-founders Baucha Crafts
Tebahal, Kathmandu
What began as a lockdown hobby soon grew into a family-run brand with a reputation for quality leather goods. Shishir, a lifelong DIY enthusiast, crafted his first leather wallet by hand, impressing friends and sparking the idea for Baucha Crafts.
Even today, he uses stitching clamps he built himself, a small reminder of the resourcefulness and passion that drive the brand. Alongside Ragini, the duo now run their workshop in Tebahal, training family members, creating timeless pieces, and building a business rooted in care and craft.
We're honored to share Baucha Crafts' story and bring their handmade creations to you.
