Chamar Studio

Bio

After the 2015 beef ban left many Dalit and Muslim leather artisans jobless, artist-activist Sudheer Rajbhar founded Chamar Studio to rebuild their livelihoods. In 2017, he introduced a recycled rubber material that feels like leather, reviving lost crafts through sustainability. Chamar preserves banned crafts, empowers a marginalized community, and transforms social stigma into pride through exceptional design.
