The journey began more than three decades ago, a vision was born in the heart of Kolkata, where the rich tradition of leather crafting met a deep understanding of its art and science. With a passion for quality and a deep knowledge of the materials, a journey began to shape the future of leather. What started as a humble tannery soon blossomed into UnicaPelle, a name synonymous with timeless craftsmanship and innovation.

Born at a time when the world certainly did not look too kindly upon women entering the mainstream of society (let alone the ‘masculine’-seeming leather industry), Kakali was determined to prove naysayers wrong and her inner strength right. At a time when the world was slow to embrace change, her resolve was unshakable. Armed with a passion for leather and a desire to blend function with fashion, she set out to push boundaries. With a Post Graduate Diploma in leather processing from the prestigious Central Leather Research Institute in Chennai, Kakali’s expertise in antique marble, nappa, and Valentino leather set her apart, infusing every creation with her signature touch — a blend of efficiency, beauty, and the unexpected. In her personal time ,Kakali enjoys reading , planning her next trip. 

Then came Rituparna, a visionary force driving UnicaPelle into the future with an innate understanding of design, branding, and business. After returning from the United States, she set out to transform UnicaPelle into a name that stands for more than just leather goods—she envisioned it as a symbol of timeless craftsmanship, elevated by a contemporary perspective. Her approach is simple yet sophisticated, blending tradition with modern sensibilities to create pieces that are as functional as they are beautiful.With a sharp eye for detail and an unwavering commitment to quality, Rituparna is redefining what it means to craft luxury in a way that speaks to both global aspirations and local roots. She’s not just building a brand; she’s curating an experience where each product is a testament to artisanal expertise, offering something unique to those who value authenticity and excellence.
