The Rangrez Tote is where timeless textile heritage meets contemporary sustainability. Made from upcycled green canvas, this one-of-one piece is appliquéd with a striking diagonal panel of vintage Banarsi fabric — known for its opulent weave, paisley motifs, and festive shimmer. The cloth, once part of a formal Eastern garment, now adorns this tote in blocks of jewel-toned color and delicate zari thread.
Banarsi fabric traces back centuries to Varanasi (Banaras), where it was handwoven for royalty and ceremonial wear. By salvaging and repurposing it here, we honor that legacy — while giving it a new, everyday purpose.
Cut by women artisans and finished in our founder’s home studio, Rangrez is bold, rooted, and made to carry culture forward.
“Rangrez” refers to a traditional dyer or colorist — an ode to the vibrant Banarsi fabric that brings this tote to life.

Shipping & Returns
Shipping & Returns
Shipping
We currently ship across the United States, with standard delivery timelines of 4–7 business days once your order is dispatched. You'll receive a tracking link via email as soon as your tote is on its way.
Every tote is packed with care in minimal, recyclable packaging. Because we’re a small studio focused on sustainability, please allow 2–3 business days for order processing before dispatch.
Returns & Exchanges
We craft each Karachi Tote one at a time, using rescued fabric and human hands — not machines. That means no two totes are exactly the same, and slight variations are part of what makes yours truly one of one.
With that in mind, we encourage mindful shopping to reduce waste and unnecessary returns.
That said, if you’re truly not happy with your purchase, here’s what we offer:
Returns accepted within 7 days of delivery
Tote must be unused, unwashed, and in original condition with tags and packaging intact
Buyer is responsible for return shipping unless item arrived damaged or incorrect
Exchanges are also possible within 7 days for another available style of equal value
To start a return or exchange, please email us at support@karachitotecompany.com with your order number and reason for return.
Note on Handmade Products
Each tote passes through careful quality checks before it reaches you. However, because we work with upcycled fabrics — some more than a decade old — and handcrafted processes, there may be slight imperfections or signs of wear in vintage materials. These are not flaws but signatures of the tote’s story.
We thank you for celebrating craftsmanship, imperfection, and conscious consumerism with us.
