Our Story & Craftsmanship
Our story
HINGARE began in Bangladesh in 2021 with a clear purpose: to create luxury heritage fashion that carries the craft traditions of Bangladesh and other countries around the world to people everywhere.
We started with leather, one of the oldest and most loved crafts, and we are growing into more handmade fashion over time.
Our own factory, since 2022
In 2022, we set up our own factory so we could protect the quality of every product from start to finish. Owning our workshop lets us look after each step ourselves, with one goal in mind: to meet the world's demand for luxury goods without compromising on quality.
A new chapter in the USA
HINGARE USA is our new chapter, created to bring the brand to customers across the United States. It is the same HINGARE, with the same craftsmanship, quality, and packaging found everywhere in the world.
Why Bangladesh
Leather is more than an industry in Bangladesh. It is a craft with deep roots. For generations, makers here have worked hides into everyday goods by hand, and those skills have been handed down from teacher to student, family to family.
A proud leather heritage
Over the decades, Bangladesh has grown into one of the notable leather and footwear producers in the world, with leather goods ranking among the country's important exports. Today, factories and workshops across the country supply leather, footwear, and accessories to markets around the globe.
The skill of Bangladeshi artisans
The real strength of Bangladeshi leather is its people. Our artisans bring patience, a trained eye, and steady hands to every step, from selecting and cutting the leather to stitching, edging, and finishing. These are skills built through years of practice, and you can feel them in the details of a finished piece.
Heritage Meets Rare
That is the idea behind our tagline. We take a long-standing craft tradition and shape it into pieces that feel rare: made with care, made in small details, and made to last. HINGARE is our way of sharing Bangladesh's craft heritage with the world.
Our craftsmanship
Made by skilled hands
Every HINGARE piece is made by our skilled artisans, whose experience shows in each cut, stitch, and finish. Behind every product is the care of the people who made it.
Genuine full-grain and top-grain leather
HINGARE uses only genuine, real leather in our leather products. We never use imitation, faux, or synthetic leather. Our leather goods are made from full-grain and top-grain leather, the finest layers of the hide.
- Full-grain leather keeps the hide's natural surface, with its real grain and character. It is very durable and develops a rich patina with age.
- Top-grain leather has its surface lightly smoothed for a more even, refined look, while staying strong and long-lasting.
Because leather is a natural material, no two pieces are exactly alike.
Thoughtfully sourced leather
Quality begins with the leather. Each hide is tanned and processed under strict quality standards before it is used to make our products, and we choose our materials with care for both the people who wear them and the world around us.
Where we can, we favor gentler, more thoughtful ways of making leather. That means paying attention to the dyes and tanning methods used, with a focus on azo-free dyeing and chrome-free tanning.
Natural materials at heart
Natural materials are at the heart of what we make. We believe good fashion should be made with respect for the world around us, and we keep that in mind in every choice we make about materials.
Attention to detail
- Careful cutting for clean lines and consistent shape
- Strong, even stitching for durability
- Smooth, finished edges
- Quality checks before every piece leaves the workshop
