Our Story

Gootipa holds a premier position in the Bangladeshi fashion landscape, recognized for a contemporary aesthetic that effortlessly meets global standards. Our journey began in 2016 as a visionary homegrown label, born from a passion to deliver an elevated, authentic experience to the most fashion-forward individuals.

Gootipa intuitively captures the pulse of every style-spirited soul—trendsetters who refuse to compromise on aesthetics, yet demand seamless utility and comfort from their bags and accessories.

The Heart of Our Craft

At Gootipa, we look beyond the product. In a market saturated with imports, we champion the untapped potential of Bangladesh’s natural resources and skilled hands. As a 100% “Made in Bangladesh” brand, our identity is our greatest strength. We want to celebrate local craftsmanship, showing how your choice fuels the local economy and inspires pride in wearing homegrown luxury.

Choosing Gootipa means joining a movement toward sustainable growth, decent employment, and artisanal heritage. As a women-focused brand, empowerment drives us—from the artisans in our factory to the trailblazing women carrying our bags on their everyday adventures. For us, gender equity and social inclusion are the very heartbeat of our brand.

Dr-Md Asadul IslamDhaka

My best friend first introduced me to Gootipa when she walked in with a bright red crossbody leather bag. I was most impressed that such high quality, functional, and stylish leather bags were being made locally. Since then I have added 8 or so Gootipa bags to my collection. I make it a point to carry Gootipa bags especially when I travel as these bags are often a conversation starter.
