Shivam Punjya is the founder and creative director of the luxury handbag label Behno. Punjya's goals for the brand include addressing global health and poverty, and championing ethical manufacturing.
Our signature design element is the knot, used in a couple of our bags. At first glance, it's a knot — it's cute. But for us, it's very much a symbol of communities coming together, holding hands.
If you open our bags, the tops of some of the locks are in the shape of a wave, which is a nod towards sustainability. We also have our signature leathers, a pebbled leather and a Nappa leather.
Behno is rooted in minimalism. Our code redefined what new luxury is for us, and that's some combination of impact, heritage and craftsmanship, at this price point. Luxury doesn't have to be a product that's expensive. You can have a luxuriously-made product that's more accessible.
Leathers come from some of the world's finest tanneries. Located on the outskirts of the iconic canal city of Venice and near the port city of Chennai, the principle tanneries are critical members of their supply chain.
