Colour
Stories.

We have never used a colour we have not first seen somewhere in Rajasthan. It is a small rule, rarely stated, but it has shaped every collection the House has released.

Sandstone, First

The warm tan that runs through most of our pieces is not a leather-industry standard shade — it is closer to the colour of Jodhpur's own building stone at midday, when the sun is high and the city's walls seem to hold light rather than reflect it. We tan toward this colour deliberately, even though it is harder to achieve consistently than more conventional browns.

Dusk, Second

Our darker pieces draw from the hour just after sunset, when the desert sky outside Jodhpur shifts through a brief, deep blue before settling into night. It is a colour that is difficult to photograph accurately and even more difficult to tan accurately — which is, perhaps, why so few leather houses attempt it.

We are not chasing trends in colour. We are chasing a specific hour, in a specific city, that we happen to know very well.

Gold, Used Sparingly

The brass tone that appears throughout our identity — in hardware, in stitching thread, in the type you are reading now — is drawn from the desert gold of late afternoon, not from any literal metal. We use it as an accent only, never a flood. A House of Bunkar piece should read first as leather, and only second as anything else.

Why This Matters

Colour, more than almost any other design decision, is where a brand can either tell the truth about where it comes from or simply borrow a palette that photographs well. We have chosen, every season, to do the former — even when it makes the work harder.
